Are you sick of reality TV yet? Well, guess what, there is another show out there. TLC has a new reality show featuring Southwest Airlines. The show is called "On The Fly". I am wondering if it really will be "flying the friendly skies" or can we expect the usual cat fights, arguing and TMI (too much information) you see on many of these shows.
