From the trim tab, this is long over due for being addressed:
When E.F. Pilot speaks, people listen…
You're on the way out of the jetway and see the outbound crew standing around waiting to board, "Hey, good jet except for the auto-spoilers and the left pack." Seems innocent enough, but passengers might overhear the pilot-speak. This could lead to unnecessary confrontations and explanations. If you've got more than a thumbs up and "good jet," make sure you talk in a private area.
