Cabin Pressure is set in the wing and prayer world of a tiny,
one-plane airline, staffed by two pilots, one on his way down, and one who
was never up to start with. In this, the finale of the whole series, we
discover that for MJN Air, whether it's choosing an ice-cream flavour, putting a princess in a van or remembering your
grandmother's name, no job is too small, but, many, many jobs are too
difficult.
Carolyn Knapp-Shappey, MJN Air's formidable
boss, has employed two of the very cheapest pilot’s money can buy. Captain
Martin Crieff, who's always wanted to fly and won't let a little thing like
lack of ability stop him, and First Officer Douglas Richardson, smooth-voiced
old sky-god and eternal schemer. Passenger service is provided by the
relentlessly cheerful Arthur, proud inventor of both Surprising Rice and his
own hat.
