Paranoid Pilots?

Can’t blame some of them. There are some companies in other parts of the world that thrive on turning other employees in for discipline. It’s just the culture.
Once we had to divert after bad weather and the ramp shut down and I was stuck for hours with 50 angry pax. I felt it best to address them from the cabin and of course there are 2 or 3 cell phones pointed at my face. Ugh. I’m not the best public speaker either.

First off, if it's in public then it's probably always fair game and making a PA on a plane probably counts as public.
In most places it's probably always illegal to record a conversation if none of the participants know you're doing it.
In some jurisdictions it's legal as long as at least one participant knows.
In some jurisdictions, all participants must be aware.
And IIRC in some jurisdictions all participants must affirmatively consent.

Outside US territory they can probably intercept and record anything for obvious intel reasons. It would not be admissible in court against a US person without probably cause + warrant.

But there's no legal recourse, other than kicking the offender off the flight.

The backlash would have been off the charts.
Granted, what the eff he was doing back there in the FIRST PLACE, but still.

Everybody knows that the rules are different depending on how much a passenger matters.
