Those PAs stink.

I thought that was the "why aren't you up front looking at your maps and starting this bad boy up stare"?

Just don't tell me to "sit back, relax and enjoy the flight"
makes me throw up a bit in my mouth and a pilot loses his wings every time you say that.

Especially when you are in a CRJ200

That one is "sit down, shut up, and yes we know this plane sucks. We want to get out of here as much as you do".

"Sit back, buckle up... and hang on."

Always goes well with the crowd.

"Update from the flight deck, 30 mins to go, weather is this, seat belt sign going on soon, gate. On time. Thanks for choosing United connection eagle Express"

Don't talk about stuff in knots. No one cares.

"When you fly, be like me and carry the (UA/AA/DL/) exclusive flyers' credit card, which pays you .001% for all your inflight purchases. Stop up to the flight deck on your way out and ask me how yo can get 60,000 free miles just for signing up"

Don't "Welcome people aboard!" in your descent announcement. They have been crammed in the tube for 2 hours already, that ship has sailed.

Time to landing, basic winds (calm, gusty, strong, etc because windy means bumpy to laymen) temperature, gate, if you are early. Thanks for flying.

You guys kill me. I remember when the CRJ was the cat’s meow.
Nothing like needing to get from ATL-DFW and the company puts you on the 3 (or was it 4?), stop EMB-120. Look up suck on Wikipedia and this is the definition.

I think it’s hilarious when pilots complain about the -200. Yes, it’s workload intensive. Yes, it has some quirks. Yes, it’s hot on the ground if the APU is inop, or your company sucks at cleaning the packs, but blame your company for carrying around MEL’s, not the airplane. Everything else just requires to, you know, be a pilot. The thing we trained to do. If you can’t handle descending in icing with the boards out and the power up you shouldn’t be doing this job. I see so many people just immediately slap the flight spoilers from full to zero and then complain about the airplane, or float halfway down the runway because they didn’t manage their energy correctly, like it’s the airplane’s fault they don’t understand aerodynamics.

You're right and it's usually the ones with inexperience that complain the most, partly because they think they have to hate it.
Still a damn good old airplane.

Yeah, nah, riding in the back of the -200 sucks.

I’m a bigger dude and honestly it’s not bad. Not much different than cattle class in a 737. Sucks that airlines are using it for 2.5 hour flights but it was never meant for that.

I believe the seats are narrower and if you are in a window seat, the body curves into you both on your legs and your shoulders. The 200 really is the nut low as a passenger.

Is the 145 some how better?
It's just as awful in the cabin.

ROFL. Yes I would say that is info-wise, a "less is more" situation.

LOL.
Fly the friendly skies.

Much preferable. Single isle seat is fine, and the window seat on the other side has more room for the legs and shoulders.

Always use your callsign. Delta will definitely hire you then.

If you're delayed for maintenance, be careful how you word things.

For example, if a ramper noticed a dent on the underside of the engine, say something along the lines of "some of our ground crew saw what looked to be a fresh scratch on a non-essential cosmetic fairing, we're just going to have our mechanics come out and take a look at it, just to be extra safe."

Instead of "we're waiting on maintenance to come out and look at some damage on the right engine before we go."

One sounds like someone dinged their car door. The other makes people thing they're going do die.

I liked to randomly key the mic and yell "Mayday, Mayday!"

“We plan to fly it like we stole it, and land it like we own it.”

Stay classy PSA...

I always liked the CA on a 145 sending the FO back to the cabin. Look out both windows at the wings. Ask the passengers, “Has anybody seen our engines? I thought they were mounted on the wings just a few minutes ago. Now they both are missing.”

With that, mutter, “Guess we’ll have to take off without them.” Turn around and walk back to the flight deck. Close and secure the door.

How about you don’t lie to the passengers m’kay.

Or lie, but explain why it’s necessary: :D

Yes it is better. Larger and higher windows and better shoulder room. The 200 feels claustrophobic in comparison with its tiny port hole windows located down by your elbows.

Oh man, that's hilarious!

Actually that is a great example of how to phrase things. You're not lying you just aren't putting images of death in people's heads.

The flying public in general is collectively stupid. Added to that, many are afraid.

They look to us to calm their fears, not inflame them.
