Mock interview-- An interview with a Flybe Airline (SF) "seat-filler".

Reporter: I understand you'll be playing the part of a paying passenger on Flybe's next flight to Dublin. Are you anything like the character you play?

SF: Nah, I'm nothing like this character. I'm playing the part of a guy who paid full fare for his last minute ticket to Dublin. Anyone that knows me, knows anything about me, knows I'm not a last minute type person. I would have had my ticket weeks ago.

Reporter: How do you prepare for your role as an airline passenger?

SF: I really don't have a particular type of passenger in mind. My methodology is influnced by the incredible actor David Caruso (Lt. Horatio Caine)
of CSI:Maimi. I practice puttiing on/taking off my sunglasses without saying a word.

Reporter: What are the dynamics of interacting with the general public?

SF: I was thinking about that earlier. Somebody asked me would it be difficult working with actual passengers? Well all I can say is, I'm really
going to try and blend in. I'm not a scene stealer, my goal is to be just one of the group.

Reporter: The Norwich airport manager has been quoted as saying hiring actors to play paying passengers doesn't seem to fit in the spirit of the airport/airline
agreement. Any comments?

SF: Well all I can say is I'm committed to doing the best job I can. I'm thoroughly dedicated and I think I'm ready for this opportunity. I know an entire
airline is counting on me. I'm going to be the best passenger Flybe ever had.
