The setup

Meet the cast. 6
Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Remember that little bitty plane crash we got into?
You grow through what you go through, just like this plane.
Sir, it's 1:00 a.m., the engine's just taking a little nap.
The premise
Here’s the bit.
On an overnight flight to Hawaii, flight attendants Denise and Cheryl wake the cabin with a celebration of their millionth mile and the plane's ten million. Their happy reminiscing keeps exposing how unsafe the aging aircraft is, from past crashes to an engine that won't start and a stray screw nobody can place, while the passengers grow more alarmed. When the engine cuts out mid-flight, the pair brush it off with a quick cable fix and later recruit everyone to run to the front of the plane to help with the landing.
