The pilot will say "that's enough about me, let's talk about the airplane I fly."

Is it a new thing (saw it some posts below) with select captain widget tools in ATL giving a briefing at the gate podium? I was huffing my way to make a commute flight in B and past a flight headed for Houston hobby of all places. An -88. Captain introduced himself and gave an entire geographic overview of the longggggg flight to Houston and all about the -88. Thank goodness I got to keep running, my tool-o-meter almost broke.
I almost feel if it was a 747 headed overseas then that captain can do what the frick he wants. Awesome. But an -88 to Houston? Cool story bro.

From personal experience, that does not correlate to a toolbag in the cockpit. In fact, on my last trip, they went up to the gatehouse again when the delay extended to make sure there weren't other pax/nonrevs/jumpseaters had walked up and wanted a ride. We should be very careful on our tool judgements.

DL mgmt want us to engage the customers more. They encourage PAs from the gatehouse if the flight is going to be delayed. Sometimes eager beavers take that a bit farther.

It's funny you mention that-
I've flown with a couple guys that do similar, as well as a guy that asked me what sort of mil experience I had. "none" Then continues on his PA explaining how much mil experience is in the cockpit.
Every...leg.... I heard that PA.
But, both (I'm in a small category) were excellent pilots and very enjoyable with their manner in the cockpit. While their PAs made me cringe, they were enjoyable to fly with and bought the beer on the layovers. Not all is as it seems.

Beyond, Time and forecast weather...what more do you need? Pax are eating watching movies. If you tell them about a great view of Greenland you wake the pax and crew, use the little map thingy.

As soon as I saw that, I thought what better way to find out what that is than ask on APC? And you gave me a real answer
+1. I commute a lot on you guys , thank you
