Synopsis/Details
THE PILOTS' LOUNGE is an often comedic, yet ultimately poignant drama structured like a sitcom which centers around Albert McNeil, an affable and unassuming new flight instructor in his early-to-mid twenties who immediately suspects his boss and former mentor Lyle of knowing more than he's letting on after witnessing a far more experienced fellow instructor's minor, yet unlikely plane crash. Fearing it could affect them all, he convinces his friends and fellow co-workers to quietly investigate and meet every week to discuss this budding mystery in.... the pilots' lounge. Little does anyone realize that Albert and the airport's new and first female instructor Tonya will unwittingly be drawn into a 15 year-old scandal involving Lyle and his former friend and business partner, impacting their futures and paralleling their present relationships as a warning not to repeat the mistakes of their elders. If interested, look for the plans for this project to be featured in-depth on a new web site this Fall that proposes the mostly regional brand of web-based entertainment of which PILOTS' LOUNGE is intended to be a part.
