Feart
Air stewards Steve McCracken and Sebastian Flight find their short haul work with small charter service Air Scotia extremely limiting and Steve is further depressed at hitting thirty so when the opportunity to apply for long haul work arrives they both apply. This means having to suck up to their sour boss Shona Spertle but when Shona's long-lost father appears among the passengers hand-cuffed to a policewoman and Shona helps him escape she agrees to put a good word in for the lads if they keep it quiet. However only one of them is successful. What will he do?

Due to falling standards Air Scotia staff are ordered to attend a weekend training course, run by the formidable Gretchen Betjeman, with a cash prize for the student with the best exam result.

Episode 3 • Jan 19, 1995
Winch
Sebastian returns from his Florida holiday to find that Steve has spent the night with a young lady but it is actually Shona,a fact both she and Steve want to keep quiet.

Choob
A remake of the pilot episode in which Steve and Sebastian are annoyed that Shona has become the 'new face' of Air Scotia, which involves having her photo taken for the in-flight magazine, as well as a video demonstrating her work, overseen by a lustful director. Knowing that Shona has a phobia of fish the lads try to sabotage the video by arranging for a dead salmon to fall out of a locker onto her. However, when Avril McKechnie, who broke Steve's heart at school and is now a fervent, bagpipes-carrying Scottish Nationalist, tries to hi-jack the plane, Shona uses the salmon to disarm her.

Dug
Shona is overjoyed when sexy pop star Guy Wersch is a passenger and organizes a birthday party for his little daughter Aurora Borealis,involving Sebastaian having to forfeit his dignity by dressing as a giant dog,though the tot herself is more interested in her investment portfolio.
