Season Two

Summary[]

The sky's the limit when estranged brothers - Joe (Timothy Daly) and Brian Hackett (Steven Weber) reunite to run a commuter airline together. On the small island of Nantucket, the Hacketts run with a first-class crew of neighbors and coworkers, including the lunch counter manager and childhood friend Helen Chapel (Crystal Bernard). Their rival Roy Biggins (David Schramm) keeps them on their guard while sharp-tongued ex-stewardess Fay Cochran (Rebecca Schull) and the eccentric mechanic Lowell Mather (Thomas Haden Church) always keep life around the terminal interesting.
