Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Tater a chief pilot?!?!?!? Geeze I'm getting old, he was a young wingman in my squadron at Langley "back in the day".
One chief pilot in DTW that was a student in one of my classes at Willie and now this..........
I'm off to get my cane and shawl

Just non-rev'd from PHL to ATL on an MD. Before pushback, the Capt introduced himself and the F/O using the boarding door's PA phone. He then gave all of us his background of flying F-14, then F-18's. He said it again just in case nobody heard it the first time. Then as he thanked us all for being here, he said: "neither me or my copilot have our laptops in the cockpit, so we'll just be landing in Atlanta, not over-flying it by 100 miles." There was a little nervous laughter, but mostly just puzzled looks.
Am I the only one that thinks that was a stupid thing to say?

I think the PS suggestion was to keep him out of trouble rather than get him into it. Imagine RA, EB, SD or some other VP type riding in the back when such a PA is made. Nuff' Said
Exactly. In this case, intervention sounds like a good deal for the CA. Without retribution, he needs to understand that his "style" is not in the company's best interest. If I were a freq flyer on his jet, I'd be outraged. If I were a js'er, I'd be embarassed.
I completely disagree! This guy is an embarrassment and his comments about laptops and taxiway landings are inappropriate and counter to the message our company wants to hear from their pilots. Pro Standards is not that big of a deal. This guy needs to tone down his self serving and self deprecating comments. Pretty hard to do at nearly the same time!
I have had pax tell me they like it.
Just what I've heard.

It is my 4th airline and the percentage is way less than the average.
PA's like "this is Brad Pitt and George Cloony" or "the good news first - is I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance, the bad news - we are going to be late" or "ALLLL RAISE!!!" when he turns off the seatbelt sign at the gate - most certainly are an embarrassment..
