Communicating With Passengers

Should have mentioned that this is for a Pt. 91 aircraft. Even though everyone is trying to get their clients who pay their salary to be quiet, I'm just trying to find an easy way to message them asking basic things such as: too hot? too cold? 20m eta? just basics really...

Two iPhones, connected to wifi...

iMessage.
 
Trust me, you don't want this. Limit the contact you have with the passengers in the back as much as possible. There are a few owners/passengers who will be an absolute PITA if you give them the ability to bug the crew about every little bump, the ice is melting in the catering, what's that city down there, and that one, and that one too? How high are we? Where is that plane over there going? Are our bags okay? My dog has to pee. Can you ask air traffic if?

You don't want this.
 
When I first started reading this thread, I pictured passengers slipping their notes under the cockpit door.
The captain (@Derg), in his best game show/radio host voice then reads the notes over the PA:
"This note is from Louise in 13C, she is a Pisces, and loves to knit dog sweaters. Her question is: why do the baggage carousels at the
De Moines airport go counterclockwise ?
 
@spoolinup22 I can install an interphone system for you. The STC will cost your owner about $200,000:

Honestly I'd be a little concerned to look out my window and see that. Was there turbulence to cause this or was that one of the Mexican snap rolled planes?

Aileron flutter... improperly balanced ailerons, too low cable tension. There was an AD put out for it.

Freaky!

Today's movie selection is being replaced by what Gil and I call quiet time. Here's how it works -- I walk up and down the aisles with a baseball bat and you don't look at me. All eyes are kept forward, and if anyone looks at me or makes a sound, I will hit you right square in the teeth. Hope you're happy with yourselves.

This whole thing sounds like a complete nightmare. Its bad enough when they bug you at the airport, I cant imagine some of the stupidity spuddering out of those mouths while in the air. There is just something about flying on a jet that turns most people into sock puppets and many pilots simply aren't good with people.
