Quit yer bitchin' about the old ways of doing PA's. I like the old ways...
Here is something from this generation of pilots, especially judging by this thread:
"Yo! Shout out from the flight deck to my peeps in da back! Welcome aboard your AMERICA WEST <muttering> express flight 6460, our nonstop service from Phoenix to Vancouver, BC. This is your $20,000 year-making pimp first officer. We are presently at FLIGHT LEVEL 360. For those of you that don't know what is a FLIGHT LEVEL, it is what we airline pilots call altitudes above 18,000 feet. Our flight time today to Vancouver is 3 hours and 22 minutes according to the computer... ooops, sorry, 3 hours and 23 minutes, sorry about that, the computer keeps changing my ETA. Our airspeed shows 440 knots of true airspeed which is not quite the same as ground speed... <you hear a SMACK on the PA>. We anticipate mostly a smooth ride, but please do what we do up here in the cockpit of this shiny regional jet and keep your seat belts fastened. If you need anything, shout out to the MILF in the back. Peace out YO!"
then a couple of minutes later captain comes on:
"Ladies and gentlemen from the flight deck, this is Captain Overunder, and i would like to apologize for my first officer's PA. He has been told to sit on his hands, not touch anything, not broadcast anything and most importantly, he's been told to lay off flightinfo. Thank you again for flying with us today."
