I plan to get a bootleg copy of British Airways’ current pushback video with Michael Cane and all those other comedians and play that through my mike...

A British accent will smooth over feathers when there’s a delay or other setback.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to united express flt #1234, service to a warm place where the beer flows like wine, and the beautiful people instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano, Im talking about a place called aspen"

Fixed it for you.

Filler.
More filler.

Captain George
 

Watch this video, great template to follow: https://youtu.be/kQFeZRNNL6U

Why do people mention what direction the wind is coming from? How on earth is that relevant to pax?

Unless you are a Delta business passenger filling out a survey.

“Did the Captain come out of the flight deck, apologize and give you a personal brief on the delay situation? Yes or No?”

Yes, but because you were out of Woodford Reserve I’m gonna mark “No.”

Love some of these responses. It’s true, though - keep it short and sweet, less is more. Most people are listening to music, watching something, or having a conversation, and aside from flight time/on-time, don’t care that much.

That said, it doesn’t hurt to say, “Welcome aboard XX flight 1234 operated by ____ Airlines” just to plant that seed that they’re not actually flying Delta/United/American.
