General PAs are a waste of time for the up front crew. Let the FAs do them.
Have one clown who retired from a mainline, who always does the “we thank you for flying X, we know you have a choice of airlines and we appreciate you making your choices with us….”
Uh, hey punchy, these are all DOD troops or USFS firefighters. They didn’t have a choice of anything, much less choosing some ancient, clapped out 737 Jurassic/Classic to ride on. You gonna hock a credit card too?

There are so many pilots that don’t know their audience. How many times have you been in the back of a plane with no APU and they tell people about the malfunction, but fail to describe what exactly that is and why it’s useful information to the people in the back.

27 yr old Delta 757/767 CA writes a book about his struggles to get to where he is today?

You realize life can be a struggle before you begin your career? Nevermind, of course you don’t.

I would agree with you however the amount of self aggrandized seniority based accomplishments posted by the account in question is a head scratcher

Let's ask the veterans that enlisted out of high school, deployed, then focused on education/ career and made it to a legacy.... Sure, go ahead and tell some grunts that they didn't have any struggles in life and they don't appreciate how easy it was for them. Haha.

No doubt. But the book reviews mention self-aggrandizing to the max.
Oh the struggles. Lost a job at TSA (airline) at the start of the pandemic, a Corpie job for few months, Horizon under 1 yr, Atlas under 1 yr, Delta by age 24-25. 757/767 Captain at age 26.
Oh the manatee. What a struggle!

Sorry, guys. As painful as it is, CC's characteristic lack of self-awareness is eclipsed
and I mean EASILY
by that of the gentleman in question.

That goes right up there with "I would've joined but Springfield Tech gave me a scholarship for..."

*coming from Calgary*
"yes light winds, clear skies, 22 degrees Celsius...uhmmm...for us Americans that's 72 Bald Eagles"

When I am IRP, which is rare nowadays, but not unheard of, I’ll say the C temp and then then tell the temp in “freedom units”. That’s during our required 3 PAs for the mechanic and anybody else on board, that they ignore.

Or, “ I was going to join, but my eyesight wasn’t good enough to be a pilot…”
“ You know the military has lots of non-pilot positions…”
