If his was you today on the XXXX am, MSP to ATL flight, STOP IT! Noboby cares about your resume....... You are making a fool of yourself.

As a veteran, I appreciate your service, but PAs like this have to stop.
Haha. A few months ago I posted a question asking if anyone had been on a flight where an 88 captain made a PA saying his phone number was 1-800-HOT-CAPTAIN and he also said after takeoff he was going to do a barrel roll. He wasn't hot, and we didn't do a barrel roll. Glad I was not traveling in uniform in the cabin that day.

For anyone that has ever ridden in the back of the plane, and maybe for those who don't commute and put AVOID deadheads on their PBS bid, they don't realize how many stinking PA's the flight attendants make. For crying out loud, everybody shut up.

Chillin' in the hotel room... 23 minutes before scheduled arrival time. 1 hourly early... and we departed JFK.


OH YEAH! TAKE THAT MR. CAPTAIN RESUME! Because of you, a simple airplane ride is suddenly a 10 minute plummet into the bowels of audible hell. Thanks to you, I know that new hire psychiatrist test doesn't work.

Here is the ONLY PA any pilot worth his wings should EVER be making!

Nobody wants to know what you flew in the military, or what college you went to, so SHUT the FARK UP! Most of them are trying to sleep! (me included!)

You only need to reasure them that every thing is OK, like these guys:

I love this, "ladies and gentlemen, the wing is not on fire!"

But please fasten your safety belts....

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. All this "..thank you Gold, Silver, Platinum, etc, etc..." Thank them by shutting up! Stop pushing your AmEx card on me. Heard from a friend who flew on some other airline that they didn't go through the litany of on-off of the electronics as much as Delta does. He said they replaced the "No Smoking" symbol next to the seat belt light with a symbol that represents "electronics"...we're above 10,000...cleared to turn it on, and people are cleared to have at it--one less annoying PA.

And while we're on the subject, it seems a lot of captains either ask me to make a PA to tell the pax to keep their seats while we stop for 15 seconds outside the gate, or make it themselves. As was mentioned, they're the captain so I'll make the PA, but really, don't you think the FAs can handle it? Sure, you can make the case for it by thinking of some scenario that saved a pax from breaking his back, but I can think of another 100 reasons to make another 100 PAs too.
