Is it a new thing (saw it some posts below) with select captain widget tools in ATL giving a briefing at the gate podium? I was huffing my way to make a commute flight in B and past a flight headed for Houston hobby of all places. An -88. Captain introduced himself and gave an entire geographic overview of the longggggg flight to Houston and all about the -88. Thank goodness I got to keep running, my tool-o-meter almost broke.

I almost feel if it was a 747 headed overseas then that captain can do what the frick he wants. Awesome. But an -88 to Houston? Cool story bro.
