SuperFLUF said:If the company that pays your paycheck (and the airplane flight manual) wants you to call it the "flight deck" then you call it the flight deck.
The psuedo-self importance comes from the pilot who thinks that their way is right and everyone who doesn't do it their way is wrong.
mullet said:Let me guess your PA consists of- "From the cockpit this is YOUR CAPTAIN CatYaak and on behalf of MY first officer Short Straw and I....blah blah blah...the flight attentdants are here primarly for your safety...blah blah blah".
Saying flightdeck=self importance, I think you got it backwards. Including titles and names on PA's is where the self-importance lies.
CatYaaak said:Nice try, but never did this one either. It sounds pompous too. Question, where did you come up with the strange notion that including titles or classifying any fellow pilot as "my" is somehow the alternative to saying "flight deck"?
TWA Dude said:I'm aware of that. Forgive me for reliving the past but at TWA it was an FA announcement. When AA procedures were instituted it became an FO announcement made during the critical time of pulling into the gate. Dumb.
