By the way, to those useless and annoying PA's in the cartoon, you need to add all the useless and annoying PA's the FAs do, especially the super long winded hard sell of the credit cards.
I completely agree except I came to realize what an integral part those credit cards are to the success of the business. Therefore those PAs are actually necessary.
Also, at Spirit they have told us that customer surveys show that people heavily favor hearing multiple stupid PAs from the pilots. Actually had a passenger express his displeasure that I did not make a cruise PA at 5am.
Personally I’d like to put a deactivated sticker on the PA of all the planes.
