my issue is not his message, but his tone. It was condescending...it dripped a sentiment of "I know you guys are still figuring out this airline thing, but..." so yeah, I get annoyed by that. Especially coming from someone who seems to be about a year in the industry himself (assumption, I know).
Trivial relative to other problems in the world, sure, but a concern nonetheless. It's been at least a handful: FO's giving an entire welcome aboard spiel on their Before TO flow after I literally JUST said all of that 10 minutes ago at the gate, FO's that can't resist "making a quick PA" every time I move the seatbelt sign, guys that wake everyone up in the middle of the night on a delayed flight to talk about the weather for 2 minutes half an hour before we land, people that just have to mention the Northern Lights at 3AM on the way to/from Fairbanks, etc etc. A little discretion WRT the PA goes a long way is all I'm saying.

Simple simple simple solution to all this.
Insert headphones and jam to metal.
Deadheaded from AUS to LAX after a trip and had a screaming baby on either side for the entire flight. Didn't hear a peep of it.
Suggest you do the same. Get hired here, get those four bars and then your opinion might hold some creedance. Quit being a coward and deal with it directly.

Back to this PA topic.. I find it very important to let passengers know what is going on. Most of them are not pilots or crewmembers and they have very little idea of what is going on. Which leads to frustration, especially in any kind of situation that may seem abnormal to them. Although it may be something you see everyday.
For example in delay in situations, I've had many passengers thank me for keeping them updated and answering their questions. It alleviates a lot of frustration to keep them in the loop, and be kind to them.
We aren't hosting a talk show the whole flight, and I've never seen anyone here make any excessive announcements.
Just my .02
