Airplane Repo

As a pilot who used to do bank repossessions I can tell you with no question this is one of the most scripted fake reality shows made. I would speculate almost all the repocessions are setup for the show in some way. A good way to know is the logbooks. Logbooks are never carried with aircraft and looking for them was always a problem and that part of the show is portrayed somewhat correct. It falls apart where the fake goon that is owed money that is somehow talked down then conveniently has the books in his car or laying on the desk. This was totally setup. In some episodes you can see the cops that come up dont actually have badges and are clearly actors. Also, I would say almost all the aircraft emergencies are setup and fake. Running low on fuel, radios that wont work all fake. If I where the actors or producers of this I would be ashamed to portray anything other than fiction.

I love the premise of the show and I wish it weren't fake but if you watch it, you can completely see that its not a real situation. One episode, the plane lacked batteries. So Danny Thompson goes and gets 2 car batteries and wires them together with jumper cables. Now, that sounds feasible up until he just touches the two leads to the wing where there is clearly no kind of battery or leads or any kind of device that might connect to the battery, he was just touching the hull of the plane. Wouldn't those batteries need to be.. ya know.. installed into the plane to be of any kind of use? I'm no aviation expert by any measure but I'm pretty sure you cannot jump start a plane by touching the wing with jumper cables.

I've watched reality shows ever since MTV introduced them in the early 1990"s and admitted to the viewers that most dialogue was scripted. In addition most segments were reshot, edited, rewritten etc. Airplane Repo is sadly a total fake, please. I know the real deal when I see it!! Don't waste your time with this ridiculous show!!

Calling this show garbage is a disservice to garbage! Completely staged, Horrible "acting" , Unlikable characters!

I've watched every season up to now. I used to like this show but this season has gotten so fake (much worse than prior seasons) that this is the last one I will watch. I think the producers think up every conceivable thing that could possibly happen on any given repo and then write it into each episode. Every episode this season I've went, "jeez give me a break" with all the stuff I'm seeing. It's just gotten really really bad to the point of not being the least bit believable anymore or even entertaining. It's really a slap in the face to the viewer to think he/she is actually buying into this stuff. Later Airplane Repo, you guys have lost a viewer.
