IMO, PNF should do the announcements. But then I only did the walk-arounds when I was in MSP during January and February when the temperature was between 70 and 80 F.

Well, I am not too concerned that the F/O will make a mistake or be too lone winded. I think that the passengers like to hear from the Captain. And there are specific things I want to be said, like thanking our flight attendances. If the F.O. really really wants to make the P/A’s when he/she is the non-flying pilot I would be OK with that. It is not as big a deal as I made it out to be. But I only had one F/O ask to make P.A’s, turned out he needed the practice.
