As new TV shows go, not bad

I probably liked this first show because of nostalgia more than anything else. I thought the captain looked more like a college sophomore than a seasoned captain taking a new airplane on its first flight to Europe. Looked more like a young California surfer, actually. The co-pilot looked like an incoming college freshman and acted like it. I didn't care for the going-back-in-time to set up all the characters. The unprofessional actions of the pilot and co-pilot was a bit much. While approaching take-off speed and rotating for example, both were looking at each other and engaged in some funny incident not related to the job at hand. When the co-pilot went back to the bathroom, the captain did not put his oxygen mask on. The flight attendant characters acted more like the real thing than the pilots. I would not have wanted to fly with these guys. A little more realism would have been nice. The story line looks like it might have potential, we shall see.

score /10
