I know at my company its actually frowned upon for the pilots to say anything more than "good morning" or "thank you for flying with us today" to our passengers. Anything that pilots say can be used against us or the company, by a passenger who is ****ed off or scared to fly. If passengers were to ask how old I am or how long i've been the flying for the company and I tell them, they would prolly freak out, since most want a 50 year old gray haired guy thats been flying the same plane for half his career, but this isn't the majors, its the regionals, but they don't understand that.
