I won't bother to explain why he asked the pilots to do this, as it seems obvious.
Sorry to interrupt the witch hunt with common sense. Please continue.
I don't think it was JP who asked our pilots to do that. I think it was just an IAH thing.
I prefer NOT to do that in my announcements. I don't even tell them welcome aboard to UAL whatever.....I don't get paid enough to make those kind of touchey feeley - feel good- warm all over- ya hoo announcements. I give them the ETA, and the weather. That's it. That is all. They can figure out for themselves what airline they are on by reading the inflight magazine or watching co-worker jeff in his welcome aboard video.
I say again. We don't get paid enough to do PR work with PA's.
