    Dirty Jobs: Airport, TONIGHT!

    At 9:00PM EST tonight, Dirty Jobs will have something at the airport, I saw an ad for it. It seems like he will be working with Southwest Airlines ramp crew.

    Dirty Jobs is on the Discovery Channel for anyone who didn't know.

    It should be second on the lineup, after "Cavedigger", so don't turn it off if hes not at the airport yet.
    nwa FOREVER!

    any job for WN is dirty!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Did not realize American Idol was two hours tonight so I ended up missing the Dirty Jobs.

    :(

    You really didn't miss anything.. It was a let down. Seriously, my wife even asked what was so dirty about that to warrant it being a part of the show.


    Now, Dirty JObs at JetBlue last WEdsnesday night?!!! That would have been classic...and worth seeing on Pay Per View!
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Dirty Jobs is a great show, but they are seriously running out of actual *dirty* jobs to do. I still find watching these jobs fascinating, and while they are sometimes cramped or difficult, there is usually nothing dirty about them these days.

    Gotham, sadly you are correct. The first episodes were great. But they arte running out of good ideas.

    Might be better if them called it "Uncomfortable Jobs"

    I did not perceive the baggage handler job as dirty....uncomfortable and perhaps clautrophobic at times, but not really dirty.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...

    He explained at the end, the baggage stuff wasn't real dirty, it was the burning of trash at MCI Airport.

    i wont deny it.. i used to be a baggage thrower at jetblue.. the dirtiest part of the job... is the sweat.. other than that.. there is no dirtiness of the job.. the only downfall is you come out smelling like crap at the end of the day.
