Episode 9

Overview

Former Goldstar member Lorna makes her Mile High debut this week as she takes her first flight with Fresh Europe. Bright, bubbly and perma-tanned she's en route to celebrate her boyfriend Frank's 30th birthday in Malaga. His present, an enormous, specially-commissioned portrait that defies description, and even leaves Will dumbstruck, is stored in the hold. Her surprise arrival on Frank's boat ends in tears. Not the only thing in the hold, there's a howling which can be heard inside the aircraft. The owners of a Chihuahua called Billy, fearing for his life, threaten mutiny unless the plane diverts. The possible diversion is one of a number of disasters to befall Captain Dan Peterson. With both Captain Croker and Captain Peterson having been rostered for the same flight they decide the hierarchy on the toss of a coin and Croker finds himself 'acting down' as First Officer. Croker revels in the problems Dan has to face, leading Dan to try to undermine Croker another way ….. using Janis.
