Worst Pa Announcements

[taters]

Was flying from ORD to LNK the other night on Air pissconsin ,

"..Uhhh good...good evening ladied and gentlemen, ..umm.......were gonna be flying at flight level 240...I mean.. um 24000, feet,,,,,,,,,,,,,umm,,looks like there wont be any bumps so dont worry about that.....uh,.. it should take about an hour......an hour to get to Omaha...........I mean , I mean Lincoln.".......( didnt realize he was still on)....."God D#mmitt that sucked"..( The Cap - " oh no you'll be fine ").... "Oh Cra"....( Fo finaly figures it out)

Cabin laughing..snikering...etc..

No joke, CA did the rest of the PA's ( I didnt realize that FO's do PA's )

FO reminded me of those really sad looking high school kids at McDonalds that are stoned and trying thier damndest to take your order.

I was afraid you were on one of my flights and you were gonna post MY PA announcement. haha. Whats wrong with FOs doing PAs? At our company usually the PNF does the PA

 

[AWACoff]

Usually the captains at AWAC do the PA announcements. It's at their discretion if they want the FO to do it. Before I upgraded, some captains had me do the PAs to get a feel for spontaneous thinking while reading the wx packet. Have fun playing airline pilot next Saturday.

How do you know it wasn't someone new, on IOE, and nervous about doing a PA?

Maybe you could do better if you tried. Oh wait, you're a $hittaco ramper, nevermind.

 

[rtmcfi]

I think I should start a new thread entitled "worst thread ever"

 

[dhc8fo]

PNF does it at Piedmont....

 

[capt. megadeth]

What's a PA?

Hopefully I will never have to do one again.

I was at the gate (in my seat) in CVG on a commercial deadhead back to domicile. The pilot gets on the PA and informs everyone of our flight level (yes, flight level), arrival, the weather, and shooting an ILS approach. Aside from me and any other pilot who may have been onboard, nobody really had a clue what this guy was talking about.

My advice: just tell me how late we are, when we are leaving, and how soon we can get there.

Had to be a new Dude!! Cut him some slack!! There's a bunch of stuff going on up there when your new!
You did get where you were going, so no worry's!! He get better!!

I was so nervous the first few times I made PAX announcements. It just takes some practice, and it'll get better. My capt says the same thing everytime, except he changes the wx, destination, Flt time, and FAs name, seems to work well for him. It's like he's got a script with fill in the blanks. It's about getting in a flow, but once you get stuck saying something you didn't want to, that's when the "ummms and ahhs" come out. You let me know the first time you make an annoucement and then tell me how sh!tty it was.

Mine sucked!

My first one was on the ATR with Woody. I gave an announcement to stay seated and keep the seat belts fastened. Cairns Approach said they were seated but didn't have any seat belts and then a Delta guy started to make a few snide comments about the PA as I sent it over the radio instead of the PA. :blush: Cairns got on the radio and said "OK Delta, as if I have never heard you guys do the same thing". No more comments from or Delta freinds after that.

Of course I was very embarrassed (pilots don't make mistakes) and all Woody could do is laugh. He said "well, you got that out of the way, so let the pax hear it this time".

 

[E62Pilot]

Yeah I did this one once...

"Flight attendant please prepare your seat for departure"

Pretty good bait there taters, but since you called us 'air pissconsin' I'll call your bluff. First, everyone knows that lately we have been renamed "Air Wiscancelleation" because the east coast commute attrition is greater than we are upgrading CA's, and they were jr. mannning us to begin with.

Now, that's BS that one of our FO's flubbed up a PA on the way to LNK. Only SkyWest is doing that run right now you turdwacker. Check United.com.
I'm not saying that it didn't happen, but from what I can figure out, AWAC is not flying to LNK currently.

Hope you get the latest version of Microsoft Flight Simulator for Christmas.

[sweptback]

On a CRJ they can't hear the PA announcement in flight anyway. So, you can say about whatever you want.

 

[COOPERVANE]

Perfectly annunciated in my best Al Haynes accent.

"Atlanta approach. Chandler 292, one-seven thousand, descending one-four thousand, Erlin2, with whiskey"

5 second pause...........BING BONG .............Yes?

Natalie in the back-- "Umm........the passengers were wondering, What did you say about whiskey? And who is Erlin?"

Check the switch...........DOH!!!!!


THOSE THAT HAVE AND THOSE THAT WILL!!!!

Couldn't have been all that new, he introduced himself as the captain.

And I did get to where I was going, eventually.

Love it!
