'Queens of the Sky,' New TV Dramedy About Flight Attendants, Gets Green Light

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) December 17, 2007 -- A fun and exciting new show about flight attendants is set to hit the airwaves soon! The show is called Queens of the Sky and is formatted as a one-hour dramedy set both amongst the clouds and on solid ground. The characters and plots revolve around a "crash pad", or shared crew apartment, in San Francisco.

The series will feature plenty of bitchy, queeny, underpaid flight attendants and pompous, arrogant, dirty-joke-telling pilots. This equates to a show along the lines of Desperate Housewives (loads of drama and catfights) meets Grey's Anatomy (tons of screwing around between coworkers) meets Ugly Betty (light, quirky feel). And all that while hurling through the sky in a flimsy metal tube at 35,000 feet! Or while looking for a good time at the Holiday Inn Express in Syracuse, NY, in the middle of winter! Or while trying to catch some zzzz's at the cramped and over-crowded "crash pad" in bustling base city.

The show is geared toward an audience of hetero-, homo- and metrosexuals between the ages of 18 and 45. There will be plenty of gay characters, as the title implies.

After scanning the networks' poor fall 2007 offerings, Ellen Simonetti, aka "Queen of Sky", the blog-fired Delta flight attendant, took matters into her own hands. She decided to create a TV series based on her quirky, original and well-received book, Diary of a Dysfunctional Flight Attendant: The Queen of Sky Blog. The book is based on the blog that got her fired from Delta Air Lines in 2004. It contains plenty of inside info about the airlines and their crewmembers -- like how leftover first class wine is "recycled" in the form of crew sangria. And how on South America trips, many flight attendants frequent dingy, back-alley waxing joints, and many pilots frequent seedy, back-alley hooker bars -- in both cases the goal being to get worked on "down there."

The project has been given the green light by Ellen Simonetti and her co-conspirators, a group of still-flying, slightly dysfunctional flight attendants who bubble over with great stories from their assorted trips. Ms. Simonetti says the market is hungry for new shows about a profession other than cops, doctors and lawyers.

"This is the right time for this show," she explains. "Network TV shows suck at the moment: they're either SSDD or way too far-fetched, like all the shows about people with special powers or invincible spies or other worldly creatures! We're going to give people an alternative and fun view of the airlines. You may or may not come out of it with a more sympathetic view of flight crews."

The exact network and air date of Queens of the Sky are to be announced. Contact Ellen Simonetti for more information about the show.
