YES!!!!!!!! Pax could care less and any pilots on board just hope it stops sooner than later. Resumes are for people looking for work, not for those who have a job to read over the PA.

That happened to me right next to Houston Hobby. Police officer said the hotel had a bar and recommended a beer there as opposed to getting mugged.

Although it's not a requirement, it is strongly suggested that all captains at Delta do that.

Yeah but he's taking about a first officer to do that on his own. Whole different bag of marbles there. A captain has a little more discretion for that type of thing and there's nothing toolish about that.

Which reminds me of another story:
Flying on a DAL 737 (ICT-ATL) where I can see the engines. I notice mx putting in oil. During the entire flight, I notice a nice brown streak running down the side of the engine. I contact the FA. She says, "nothing to worry about", I tell her I'm a pilot and that leaking oil is usually not a good thing". Her response - "do you fly a 737?" I kinda kept quiet after that, but a "I'll let the CA know, or yes we are aware and are monitoring" would have gone a lot further for customer service.

In 27 years of domestic and international DAL travel, I've never seen that. I'd probably mutter, tool, under my breath - or engage in a more toolish "I'm a pilot too!"

So I tried to explain parallel runway operations. He insisted that we were closer than 500 feet and wanted to know why we didnt respond to our TCAS. So I politely asked him what TCAS.
Figured that was one way to shut him up.
