Airplane Repo on Discovery

What a scripted piece of reality trash.

I want my hour back!!!

I can't image all the repos are not scripted including the "in flight" emergencies....

It might be a good idea to keep watching it. Eventually, to hold their audience, they'll probably have to do a mid-air repo by dropping a guy down a ladder from another plane and having him yank open the door, jump inside, and hold a gun on the pilot.

I agree. The episode with the two guys finding the logbooks and the guy grabbing them from their car (a car he has no idea who's is and "sees" the log books in the back seat from 15 feet away). Then these idiots leave the plane alone to go find him and he comes back and flies away. At the end they await his landing with every emergency vehicle flashing their lights as he approaches. Seeing this, he touches down and then flies away. Like you didn't see this coming. I feel very stupid for watching this horse*****. Can we please put and end to "reality" tv finally?

Out of desperation I watched the "Repo" thing last night myself as every other channel is still stuck on the TM & Z story. Never again..... such BS.

Judging by the title, you couldn't really have expected anything of quality...

Scripted or not, I think it's pure brilliance by the network to capitalize on those who choose to live beyond their means. Maybe a valuable lesson could be learned.

Unfortunately the debtor probably gets a chunk of change too.

I think you thinking of the other plane repo show. I actually think this one is a bit more "realistic" if that is possible.
