I see the comedy. I see the guy as a male flight attendant on probation for ?, and this is a gig that lets him keep flying and womanizing [and pretending to be a pilot?]
But...the artificiality of the constraint bugs me. If the flight is diverted, what is he supposed to do- appeal to the gods of weather?

Sounds a little blah and a little dumb to me. Just makes me sigh. But I guess the execution could save it.

How much is the escort being paid?
(Pinky to the corner of my mouth) One million dollars?
