Agreed…and the 2 of us up front have a lot of information the FAs don’t have. We should be the ones relating weather, long taxi lines, gate holds, and maintenance delays. I always try to give updates and tell the truth. I commuted for 6 years and always hated it when we were sitting somewhere for 20 minutes without a peep from the flight deck. It’s not hard.
