Man... I really intended that to not be trolling, but guaranteed someone is going to get upset about it.
Over the last few years, I've heard a number of PA's on guard, and 90% of them have been UA. I really don't care... it's hilarious, I just thought it was quite the coincidence that it was all the same carrier.
I guess cue the minority/female hiring practice peanut gallery.

. After all, by the time we level off, the folks in the back know the airline, flight number, and intended destination, I hope.

United? Come on, we know that guard is Delta's company frequency. It seems like half the time I hear somebody trying to call ops on guard, it's Delta.

How about the guard police? I've flown with a few of them. Instead of popping a blood vessel, how about just deselecting the radio, or turning it down? Sheesh.

I just thought it was interesting that likewise UA holds the PA on guard trophy. There's got to be a similar reason.

You want to go into frequency limbo? Or screw up a call? Try the audio control panel (ACP in airbus speak) on the Airbus. If you are noticing one particular company it's probably a bunch of guys transitioning to the bus.

Wife and I going on vacation this week...Air Wisky Capt giving his welcome aboard speech...
"I'm so and so, and up here with me is Co-Captain so and so..."
Alright, cool guy to fly with sounds like.
Then he says:
"Welcome aboard this Canadair Whisperjet."
No. No sir. There is one "Whisperjet".
