Supporting actors include Mo'Nique, Loni Love, K.D. Aubert, D.L. Hughley, Godfrey and Sofia Vergara . </P> <P> Nashawn Wade (Kevin Hart) has a horrible experience with a typical airline: his dog Dre was classified as a checked baggage instead of a carry - on, he eats a horrible airline meal, his buttocks gets stuck in the toilet during turbulence, and Nashawn's dog is sucked through a jet engine (after a stewardess accidentally opens the cargo door). In response, he sues the airline and is awarded $100,000,000 by the jury . He decides to use the money to start his own airline, called N.W.A. (Nashawn Wade Airlines), whose acronym and logo are a pop culture reference to rap group N.W.A . The airline specifically caters to African Americans and hip hop culture . The terminal at the airport is called the Malcolm X terminal, the plane is a heavily modified Boeing 747SP, customized with low - rider hydraulics, spinners, blended winglets to compensate for the drag from the decorations, and a dance club . The safety video is also a spoof of the Destiny's Child song "Survivor". </P>
