Seems like an American captain apparently decided to tell it like it is . . . apologies in advance for the obnoxious 2023 social media captions.
Yeah, but it was your airline, so the joke was close enough for government work.I fly the bus. I saw that and wonder if it wasn’t dubbed over. Who knows. I’ve heard my fair share of welcome aboard PAs that have had me go “huh?”
Curious whether there is any company guidance/guidelines on the content of your announcements?I fly the bus. I saw that and wonder if it wasn’t dubbed over. Who knows. I’ve heard my fair share of welcome aboard PAs that have had me go “huh?”
Brett, just like the military there are canned brief formats in our equivalent of our operations manual. “Communication with passengers”. Some PA announcements are mandatory. The rest is just technique, don’t be the pilot making the level off PA at 6am waking everyone up etc. I’m a fan of less is more (I know, shocking from a P3 bubba!). I’ve heard some crazy PA “spiels” over the years. And I was like, this guy is a goof, and then watched as 90% of the pax leaving the plane remarked they “loved” the PAs (go figure). Some of it is knowing the audience, destination and are we on time versus pax have been sitting in the terminal for 24 hours. Some of my favorite PAs are Delta pilots making the PA over the radio by mistake!Curious whether there is any company guidance/guidelines on the content of your announcements?

Nothing beats that SWA pilot saying nasty things about a particular flight attendant he didn't like... on hot mic over center. And everyone else checking in for the next few minutes saying "That wasn't us..."
I wonder what that guy is doing for work now?
Funny if the pilot had a coughing attack while he said them.Sometimes. For example, during Covid last airline had a script of things that had to be said.
Not sure what an airline PA announcement would have done after that. “Please don’t throw a riot and invade the Capitol while you’re here?”Also for a period of time going to DC after the protest.
