So what did we decide?
“FLIGHT ATTENDANTS, PLEASE PREPARE THE CABIN FOR DEPARTURE.”
can be...
“FLIGHT ATTENDANTS WE'RE NUMBER THREE FOR TAKEOFF, PLEASE PREPARE THE CABIN FOR DEPARTURE.”
what about...
"“FLIGHT ATTENDANTS, “FLIGHT ATTENDANTS WE'RE NUMBER THREE FOR TAKEOFF, EXPECT AN ON TIME ARRIVAL, PLEASE PREPARE THE CABIN FOR DEPARTURE.”PREPARE THE CABIN FOR DEPARTURE.”
That on time arrival was something I did for a while because FAs would call and ask if we're going to be on time. I felt like heading it off at the pass, so to me I'm talking to the FAs and giving them information.
But maybe not.
Now the FAA guys I've dealt with, I do not honestly think they'd care about a small deviation from the standard. I think a 1 minute well rehearsed listen-to-myself diatribe while taxing could be ranked right up there with not putting your O2 mask on though.
