SWA taking off with music over PA?

[BobDDuck]

I doubt most of them could afford a Delta ticket.

You do realize that, with the exception of a few very small fair buckets, southwest is almost always the same price as everyone else, right?

 

[SlumTodd_Millionaire]

Coming from you, this holds about as much weight as one of your ridiculous one line quips. Quiet down child. Your daddy's plane needs some flying.

Coming from him? You mean one of the most respected posters here who also comes out to NJC every year? When did you last show your face there? Ever?

Don't confuse him with facts! He's on a roll about having "fun," because apparently it's "fun" to not be able to take a nap while some doosh plays 80s music over the PA.

Let's be honest, the real problem is the vertical video

Which confirms everything said about Southwest's passengers.

Ad hominem abusive, very nice.

I find it at best unprofessional and at worst a sterile flight deck violation, but you just go on.

Incidentally, my family state right now is NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS, so you'd be well advised to see to your own. Thanks.

Having fun doesn't involve misusing safety equipment during a critical phase of flight.

I think it's cheesy and not for me.

But that "safety equipment" is also typically used to hawk credit cards (also right as the wheels leave the ground) and other non-essential functions...."Ur gate to Peoria is E17 today...."

Not during a critical please of flight. They're required to wait until above 10k.

Correct.

The "here, have a SkyPesos KilometersPlusPlus Adventurer Card and earn valuable SkyPesos for sitting here" PAs do not commence until sterile flight deck terminates. (On our airplane, the FAs wait until we turn off the sterile light; on the "other" airplane, it's when they cycle the NO SMOKING sign - thankfully not four times anymore...) I myself am careful to confine PAs made during sterile periods to that which is operationally required, such as an admonition to remain seated until we're at the gate and the Captain turns off the fasten seat belt sign. Saying "hi" and "bye" happens above 10/above 18.

I miss these years of flying:

Not a fan of the idea.

If my cabin crew did that, we'd be having a chat after landing because there is a high probability that one of the passengers won't get the "joke" and it's going to involve paperwork, reports and at the end of the day, the risks far outweigh any potential reward.

Gotta FB message about this post. Un-wad your panties Todd. There was no threat to safety. In case you failed to realize, when the music was playing, the front PA appears to override the music. There was ZERO threat to ANYONES safety. That this was a threat to aviation safety is completely ignorant. State mans argument, at best. Chest thumping because you are so "high and mighty, I'M RICH BITCH," is more likely. Remember, you used to fly for Airtran, a far more budget airline than Southwest.

'!"

Here's the question you're not asking yourself as captain: "Is it worth it?"

At the end of the day, when Grandma McButters complains to the FAA, the company is going to drop that in your lap and walk out of the room.

Everything is "cool!", "fun!", full of "yisssssss!" and "what's the big deal?!" when you're not the one ultimately responsible and have to do the uhhh… answering of the questions.

Incorrect.

Right after departure (at my old airline at least which shared the same PA's as those flying a DeathStar around) the first PA once airborne was usually, "You'll be earning valuable miles for your flight today....." and finished with a reminder about seatbelt signs.

Probably approved by the POI and in the FAM as their standard seat belt announcement. It's very unusual for a POI to approve something like that, though. Some are stricter than others, of course.
