Flight Attendants and Pilots both should get off the PA!

On the next red eye flight notice how often the PA is used? On the next short flight notice if you can count more than 16 PA's on a single 30 minute flight?

"TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONES" is said at least 10 times per flight.

"PUT ON YOUR SEAT BELT" is said more often than required or needed.

and messages to individual passengers should be said to individual passengers verse the entire aircraft. "The gentleman in seat 10F needs to turn off his cell phone." Tell the guy in 10F not the entire aircraft!

And pilots breaking sterile procedures to tell the passengers we are not yet at the gate or number two in line for takeoff are idiots.

SHUT UP on the PA! Next time you find yourself wanting to use the PA don't!

While one the ground, as long as the parking brake is set, you can make all the PA's you want.

I agree about the number of PA's, just do the required ones, that's plenty(prolly too many).

We are required to tell the flight attendants to be seated for takeoff, ie we are number two for takeoff, flight attendants be seated....does following SOPs make me an idiot?

t!

So parking brake set and making the call to the pax is breaking sterile procedures, I think not.

You do notice that people don't comply right? FAs receive a lot of pressure to maintain a standard of compliance, so I don't blame them for the nuisance PAs and badgering people to turn off electrical devices. They're simply doing their job. Yes, a lot of them are rude too, which is not cool.

"TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONES" is said at least 10 times per flight.

And yet, despite those announcements, on every flight, there are several pax that don't think this applies to them.

"PUT ON YOUR SEAT BELT" is said more often than required or needed.

I think the whole "public shame" thing is part of the strategy here...if the ******************************bag in 10F still has not turned his cell phone off after the "10 times per flight" that he has been told to, do you really think an FA telling him personally is going to get him to? (actually, it SHOULD, but it often doesn't, as I have seen on countless commutes)

And pilots breaking sterile procedures to tell the passengers we are not yet at the gate or number two in line for takeoff are idiots.

First, the "not at the gate yet" PA is always made (on my a/c) after we have come to a STOP short of the gate, therefore non-sterile cockpit. And, again, if you ride in the back much you would know that the PA is apparently necessary since a big % of pax are apparently either non-English speakers, legally deaf, too busy on their cell phone to catch the part about remaining seated until the seat belt sign is turned off, OR are just complete and utter idiots.

SHUT UP on the PA! Next time you find yourself wanting to use the PA don't!

Bottom line, most of those PA's are FAA mandated. Most of the others are 100% due to the fact that too many pax are either too arrogant/self-important OR too stupid to do as they have been instructed the first time....In violation of Federal law I might add.

i fly to hong kong and back alot....Delta had a rude bunch on my two trips...i fly a united/cont 777 out of newark....the continental senior FAs are always nice and friendly....not too young and sexy, but they're good at their job..

And CAL has the biggest ****************************** bag pilots i have ever met! I was in the crew van (tahoe) when two pricks show up so i get in the 3rd row so they can fit, no thanks or hi, nothing. Get to the hotel and ****************************** bag number 2 cant even pop the seat for me. Just walks away. Prick, we work for the same company, nice manners.

Here we go again.... This sh!t is getting real old!!!

 

[Dumb Pilot]

As part of the commuting contract I am on, I often change back and forth from US airlines back to Asian airlines and some dead heads within SE Asia, the entire experience is so different, not only the cabin attendants but the whole thing, from the costumer service agents to the food to the cleanliness of the A/C, something as basic as your bag coming back not looking like it was tossed into a cement mixer, it is amazing as to how low the expectation of service has gone here in the US. Mind you I don't really need the cabin attendants to be thin and young, but you expect in a $9,000 business class ticket not to be given attitude

NOWHERE DID I MENTION THE USE OF THE PARKING BRAKE! You assumed wrong and distorted my point. But I guess those type of actions justify those types of pilots rude behavior.

So for clarification for the ****************************** pilots, I was referring to pilots making PA's while in sterile.

An example is pulling into the ramp area while switching from ground freq. to ramp freq. while taxing to avoid moving ground equipment and making a call over the PA to tell the passengers to remain seated while the airplane is moving and not yet at the gate. Apparently DTW320 operates in ATL in an unsafe manner often.

Excessive, annoying, fill the air for the sound of it PA's are a major factor in airline rudeness. After the TSA blasts the passengers ears for two hours prior to boarding we then have the likes of SWA GUY, Dugan Jones, DTW320, and Scoreboard further ruining the travel day.

The only PA which is mandatory is the FA pre-take passenger briefing and the seatbelt change of status in the regulations.

Past those two PA's all are discretionary and done in a very rude manner.

The pilot pre-board PA not mandatory.
10 to 20 please turn off your cell phone PA's- not mandatory.
We are serving coke verse pepsi- not mandatory.
Fly XYZ to get reward points- not mandatory.

SHUT THE F UP ON THE PA!
