"Spokesman Thawinan Kongkran said: "The producer says the soap opera reflects all sides of the profession." " [see above]

If that's the case, I hope we'll soon see the gay male flight attendants too!

I've watched a few episodes of the program, and there is a poorly portrayed gay male flight attendant as one of the central characters. I say "poorly," as he comes across as a straight actor trying to impersonate a screaming faggot with exaggerated gestures, etc.

What surprisingly seems to be missing is a khatooey. There is almost always a khatooey in Thai soap operas (often for comic relief), and this program's setting would lend itself beautifully to such a character. Boy, would the Thai flight attendant union have a fit about *that*!
