Then I think you accidentally replied to the wrong post. I said we don't need long winded PA's with little factoid trivia. We make entirely too many PA's, regardless of sterile conditions or not. Especially with more and more TV's on board and everyone on their mobile devices. We (pilots and FA's) absolutely spam them with just the required announcements (and advertisements, etc) so a quick welcome aboard at the gate with basic info that fits in a sub 10 second PA is all we really should be doing outside of required announcements and common sense stuff like holding, diverting, turb ahead, unexpected delays, etc.

There is still a remnant of old school pilot stuff that biases some people to think that more PA's are better because that's all we can do to differentiate ourselves and go the extra mile or whatever. So lots of pilots get carried away with it. We are slowly starting to figure out that less is more. Slowly. Very slowly.

But its wrong to think you can't squeeze in your takeoff number because that's a violation of sterile cockpit. Anyone dumb enough to believe that should never even set 250 under 10 (unless they're one of the few that actually have it "in the manuals" that set automation is acceptable for that specific limit) because they might get a 1 knot gust and have to self disclose themselves.

And many FA's don't listen to PA's. But some do. That quick sequence information is relevant and serves a purpose, and could very well end up reducing the bandwidth you spend talking in the back anyway.

"We're number three for takeoff" is not a violation of anything and anyone that thinks it even might be is too paranoid to operate an aircraft.
