Default Put on sunglasses to make a PA

This is a true story. On a commute, keep in mind I was one of the last people on the plane, flying from JFK to my home. I said hi to the flight crew, the FO was very nice, but the Captain just looked at me a couple times and nodded with his seat reclined. Now at first I just thought this guy is not very social. So imagine my surprise after taking my seat when this guys comes out and faces a fully loaded AB320 to make a PA, with his sunglasses on. Now, I understand it gets bright in the cockpit, but he didn't have them on 2 min before when I was up there. Then he starts talking about how he has a plane full of gas and we can go wherever we want and starts dropping warm destinations, and brings up how it's ok because he has another job in the AirForce reserve. I am offended and embarrassed as a co worker of this individual and as a member of the AirForce. I hope you read this. Yes you are a complete juicing tool bag, and make military guys look bad. Really, you put your ******* sunglasses on to make a PA. I hope it ends up on you tube and your reserve squadron finds out about it, so they can play it at next drill weekend. Everyone will laugh at you cause you sir are a D-Bag.

Were they at least the same cool kind that Tom Cruise wore in Top Gun? Iconic.

Many years ago flew with a complete bumbling fool of a "captain" who, while making a PA inflight, would ALWAYS look over at you for the ENTIRE long-winded scenic tour (even on a red-eye) with a kind of faux-Johhny Carson smile and talk. Like he was the coolest guy on the face of the Earth, and he just KNEW you thought so too. Would introduce himself on that PA by name as "Captain XXXX" and never once mention the name of anyone else on the crew, unless there was one (out of 10) FA he was interested in. Then it was "XXXX and everyone else on our wonderful cabin crew". He was married with 3 kids. Never got laid at work, obviously. Great, awkward, bumbling oaf of a man. God rest his soul.
