Once of the gate, who tells their passengers "Air Traffic Control gave us a wheels up time of 12:13PM ZULU"?!?! Direct quote.
This was at 7:50am lcl so that wheels up time was at 8:13am, nothing terrible. But by saying noon everyone immediately looked at the poor commuting pilot in that back for answers. Yay me.
Way to go crew.

It's not really toolish, but some of us could do better at speaking in layman's terms when making PA's. It's like telling the pax we just leveled off at flight level 340...most don't know what that is.
Someone once told me a true sign of intelligence is being able to speak to someone about something they know nothing about, without them feeling like you're dumbing it down for them, and without them feeling clueless.

A waste of time talking to others outside the profession using nothing but the profession’s slang/designated terms. People tune you out real fast and the terms mean nothing to them. Works like that in any profession.
