Not trying to start anything I'm just legitimately curious as I've seen more and more people saying that.
I personally if I remember to give a PA at all ,will say American eagle flight xxxx to destination. If I'm talking to someone on the street who has no idea, I'll tell them AA because I don't want to explain the regional model. If they know a little bit about it, I'll tell em Envoy

I do work for American Airlines. Just under a regional contract where I have to work harder under worse conditions and get paid 1/10-1/4 as much lmao

In the rare case a real human asks who I fly for I just say "American Eagle"

You’re a pilot for a clothing store?

I say “baby American” and if they have a confused face I then say it’s like an internship but I do the same work and get paid less and they vaguely hunt that one day I could work for the real company.

so like any other internship.

Yeah I had the same passive aggressive MO... they wanted us to say "Welcome Aboard Delta Connection Flight XYZ..."

What I actually said... "Welcome aboard Skywest Flight XYZ, Delta Connection service to...."

I don't know. I don't have a reason, I'm just trying to not look dumb.

Ive had pax on the wrong plane before. Not often, but it does happen.

I also think it sounds more professional.

Lastly, aa I recall, it’s actually in the FM-1 that way.

FM1 never says anything about the pilots having to do a welcome aboard PA. It just says that’s delegated to the flight attendants. So I never do one.

The AA influence there is strong. The only time you don’t think you work for AA is when you see your paystub.
