Tommy Reid

Tommy Reid is an employee at "Happy Burger" and is played by Matt Lucas. He aspires to be a pilot so for experience he works at the airport even though working in a fast-food restaurant has nothing to do with flying an aeroplane.

Description
Appearance:

Tommy is young, male and Scottish. He works at "Happy Burger" employee who has curly, ginger hair and is quite chubby

Other:

He appears to have a low iQ, since he has trouble pronouncing and reading long/complex words such as "examinations". Despite the fact he wants to work as a pilot, he mentions in his interview at a flight school that a condition that may prevent him from being a pilot is his fear of flying, which is very ironic.

Come Fly with Me
During his time as an employee at "Happy Burger", Tommy was serving customers by pressing buttons on the till, whilst being supervised by a colleague saying commands such as "Press cheeseburger". Tommy says that he found it "quite complicated" but after he served his first customer he thinks he is "definitely on his way to becoming a pilot". He gains 3 stars on his name-badge for: being there a week, putting cheese into cheeseburgers and mopping up sick. He doesn't want to get too many stars as it may overqualify him to be a pilot. Later, he is promoted to be an assistant supervisor to train the new staff, but still needs the (master) supervisor present to ensure he is doing his(/the trainee's) job correctly.

Later in the series he goes for an interview at a flying school, where he is asked various questions ranging from name to qualifications to medical conditions that could prevent him from taking up that job. He forgets to include his surname when asked his name, and says he has a fear of flying.

He says that he thinks the interview went really well, even though it didn't go well at all!

The intervirewer says he will write to Tommy to let him know if he succeeded in the interview, but since Tommy cannot read, he (Tommy) wasn't too happy about this.

In "Happy Burger", Tommy (with the help of other employees) reads his letter, which pretty much says he has failed, but in a nice, polite way. Tommy then quits his job at the fast-food restaurant because the only reason he worked there was to help him become a pilot. He had to give back his uniform, so ended up walking through the airport with no shirt or trousers on.
