What proof do you have to substantiate your claim that:

1. The PA was done with malice; and
2. The individual was "posing" as a DL crewmember.

All the Delta pilots that would make a real PA like that would do it on the flight attendants first class interphone. That's my proof that it was a spoof.

The pilot in the DC area that went on guard last night and purposely did a pre take off announcement posing as a delta pilot and went on to explain how he was Air Force and the fo was navy. That whole routine. Clever and we chuckled but cmon dude.

I think he even mentioned number of carrier landings, but I was slow to get the guard volume up. It was pretty funny, but it was so over the top it had to be a troll.

Real Navy pilots don't keep track of the number of carrier landings they have. (I have 201😆)

Was on DL last night to SLC-SEA and the capt came into first class and made the exact same announcement, then made it on the PA a few mins later! 739 Seattle based. I cringed as did the others in front. Most embarrassing PA I've ever heard!

He even talked about how much fuel would be burned and what the seat/mile cost or some other ridiculous figure was!

If we were having a disagreement about lift, weight, gravity, and drag, then this might have been a good reply. If you can't comprehend the difference then you further dig your own hole of ignorance and irrelevance.

Ah sorry I forgot. You're still sore I burst your little FFDO hero fantasy. Sorry Serena, but you won't have the opportunity to be the savior when the terr-wist bursts through the cockpit door after getting past security, the angry passengers, and the fortified door. The program is much more likely to result in a hole in the side of the plane, leaving the gun somewhere, or creative use by Lubitz or Osbon.

I am a member of a medical forum and actively volunteer at a hospital to satisfy my desire to be in medicine. I'd love to be in medicine as an MD or DO, particularly emergency medicine, I find it fascinating. That said, I'm also quite happy flying around the world.

I am close friends in real life with a few transport captains, and also have numerous aviation professionals as patients I have to see every 6 months for their special. They are great people and we have a great relationship. Fortunately I've never encountered anybody as idiotic and childish as the noisemakers on this forum, particularly the wannabes here (obvious who they are), but can fortunately quickly ignore.

It has been my experience that pilots like to hear medical stories more than I want to hear piloting stories (hopefully not much daily excitement as a civil transport guy...) :eek:

Keep in mind cpnjns that a subset of pax eat this up... I am sure he gets a great deal of positive feedback, and the remainder are just too polite and will look down in their books during the briefing.
