I hate to ask, but do you have any idea if the guy was an LCA? Only reason I ask is because, from the right seat, I've seen this twice and both times the CA was an LCA. Don't get me wrong, Captains, it's your PA. Say what you want to say. I've just noticed a (admittedly small) pattern, and I wonder if there's some guidance from above to "personalize" the crew. I flew with an LCA last month that made a lengthy PA right after the pre push acars detailing his background, my background, all the FAs names, and various aeronautical minutiae (by the way, when you tell people you're flying over Dryer, OH, they don't have any idea what you're talking about. Take a minute to consult a map and realize the big city on Lake Erie is actually called Cleveland). Since the pre push acars is my cue to go pee, I got multiple opportunities to see our HVCs looking either glazed over or downright annoyed during the PA. As a pilot, I couldn't care less about the case the guy in 1B successfully litigated or the buyout the lady in 22D just facilitated. I'm quite sure they care just as little about my CV as I care about theirs. And leave my name out of the PA. It's nobody's business.
Tighten that windsor knot!! Button that coat!!! And put your hat on!!! Tuck in those pajamas and get rid of that pppledge pin!
I'll see you at the stable tonight and every night and without that pppppledge pin!
I love long PAs about the pilot's flying background especially on a 5 am commute. I like it when they say turbulence, danger, critical and emergency a lot.
Its a ride, I dont care, I dont listen anyway.

Good God...that makes me pine for the days where the guy in the left seat gave the brief the first day "SOPA/SMAC, K?", and that was the long version.

But then you would forget Mr. Train Whistle, Mr. attempt to clean his freshly caught trout in the DC-9 cockpit, Mr. walk on his hands down the aisle pre boarding, aww the memories...

And since when did everyone get SJS? It's like the secret argument for recapturing RJ flying is how good you'll look in the left seat of that RJ. I know I will.
