Movie #2403 "Christmas Takes Flight" (CBS) I found this a good story with an interesting conflict. Female pilot whose family owns the business butts heads with a stereotypical jerky CEO who can see nothing but numbers. the first major decision he makes after taking over is to get rid of the very popular and successful charity project they do for little kids at Christmas time ---- not a good idea, and the pilot tries to keep it going ---- We really hate the CEO for more than 3/4's of the film, and for this to work, he has to have a definitive moment where he changes --- not sure that was there. But what sustained interest for me in this film was the very capable actress playing the female pilot ---if she likes him, she brings us along --- Still the film falls a bit short....because of him, mostly. 3.5 out of 5.
