So much for the "Your (Delta) application must be 40 pages!"

Here the seatbelt sign is CAs and the PA as well. We only do the main welcome aboard PA from the galley PA. Otherwise a quiet flight, no PAs. Because of not disturbing the IFE experience. Exceptions: go around, diversion, emergency, etc.
 
Where I'm at the PAs are (normally) all the CA's job. As are the engine starts, takeoff briefs (regardless of who is flying), light switches and pretty much everything else. We are an... old culture. We never turn the seat belt sign off, but I'd guess that is a left seat function too.

I found that most south captains culturally tend to run the sign. It's allowed to be designated to the FO, though, and most former north as well as newer captains seem to be better at delegating. As far as the PA, that seems to be delegated to the PM a lot more universally.

I think what was interesting in that a million years as an FO, I haven't seen a captain do PA's when he's PF. Or FP. Or whatever in the hell the abbreviation is.

But I put it all in the first leg brief.

Unless, of course, if me having a 'first leg' brief offends anyone! ;)

I think there's a shift between domestic and transoceanic flying. On augmented legs, the RP does the initial climb and decsent PAs, domestically, it seems most captains do them. Personally, the more work I can push off on the FOs, the smoother flights seem to run!

I prefer first leg boxers myself, but that's just me.

Seriously though...everyone knows this is a team sport, right?

Yes, because the upgrades and movement at regionals today is phenomenal. CAs upgrading at 23-25 and going to the majors at 23-30. Make no mistake, this was not the norm 10 years ago when Age 65 passed and the Great Recession happened.

Yep. As a Gen-Xer caught in the 9/11, age 65, and recession era - I'm jealous of those millennials that get to sail right through their careers with tailwinds. I hope they realize how damn lucky they are.

Aren't you at my shop? Is it not PM duty to do the cruise PA?
