I remember back in 99 or 00, a dal flight out of SLC, the flight crew leaving the cockpit door open, during taxi, all the way up to take off, was this normal for pre- 9/11?

The captains at FedEx I fly with are a cut above most of the guys I've seen post here. They let me make ALL the PAs, and often even do all the flying so I can concentrate on practing to make that perfect PA call. I think that on the job training is critical as I don't remember being given ANY training on making PAs in ground school or in IOE.

Nice leadership there, captain.

Sounds like you need CRM re-current training, you sound so nice yourself.

When we do have human passangers it goes something like this; "Folks, we're next for departure, please return your flight attendant to her original up-right and locked position, thank you very much."

Good comeback, Captain. Hope your PA's are more creative than that--otherwise, maybe you SHOULD let your F/O's make the PA's.

When you have one more stripe than me, then you can tell me what I should do.

Most passengers couldn't give a turd about flying, but I bet if you said something like, "Ladies and gentlemen: You're getting the WHOLE can of soda today instead of half of it!", you'd get their attention.

I've always thought that instead of seat belts, they should have bars that come down[like on amusement park rides]. The bar stays down until the ride is over.
