First PA from gate agent was at scheduled departure simply saying delayed without a reason. Pilots walked off 45 minutes later without a word. Told gate change right after that. Long hike to new gate where we were told to go back to old gate. Board and push on original aircraft. Sit on ramp for 45 more minutes without a word. People were ****ed about the lack of info. This is all to often the norm on AA. Check their earnings.
You can make announcements from the flight deck to keep pax informed.no need to stand up there in the galley looking clownish seeking attention. People will not fly us based on whether or not we make gate or galley pa’s. Fly them safely from here to there and on time . That’s it .
No need to read your resume in the galley before each flight. It proves absolutely nothing.
