Yeah, some parts of it were pretty corny.

The Caribbean flyer guy talking about how "Pilots who learn to fly in the Caribbean, they can fly ANYWHERE". Uh...how much icing do they get down there? Also, the VP of the air company who talks about how difficult the approach is at St-Barths and...does the simpler approach from the water (instead of from the hill) end.

I've only operated St. Maarten, but I was a little disappointed that they focused only on the crazies getting blown away. The takeoff there was the hard part, at least in my A/C. Had to avoid masts of large sailboats and the mountain staring right at you off the runway.
