My god it is awful. And then, I get to fight with accounting about paying a bag fee, because they can't believe it would cost $100 for a carry on.

It doesn't cost $100 if you pay attention.

I'm not allowed to book anything directly through an airline's website. Corporate world, we have processes that must be followed!

I thought it was "We'll be offering complimentary liquor drinks on this flight, as our way of saying 'Thank you for your patience'", got to use that one yesterday.

Yeah, 'cause Spirit charges extra for every announcement. Double charge for evac announcements.

I find the passengers are very generous when it comes to the evacuation fees.

Ok Mr. @Autothrust Blue here goes:
Somewhat true but if you're at one of the wonderful multiple flight regional gates where you're boarding from the ramp, some people like confirmation.
Good advice. It's cloudy, partly cloudy or sunny. You're not going to see the sun, you'll see it or hey, break out the sunglasses.
Not necessarily true. Not everyone is a millennial with his or her head buried into a smartphone. It's also the only chance some adults get to disconnect and now be screaming "LEADS! LEADS! GOT ANY LEADS!" electronically to all your coworkers.
I don't work for an airline like that. Our passengers are generally pretty ecstatic to be onboard and I want to keep them happy. If the plane is dirty, I've failed as a captain if I don't address it. I am extremely serious about this and have made the "Must Kill First During the Fog of The Revolution" list in MSP.
I do. It means there's a living person up front who is taking responsibility for the success or failure of the operation. That's my style.
That is a little creepy when guys say that and it's not how I roll, but whatever.
2200 to 0800 keep the PA's to an absolute minimum, in flight, except for those that are absolutely required by the FOM. If it's a flight with personal monitors, I'm generally pretty quiet.

I did have an FO tell me he wasn't paid to do PA's.
I don't think he liked my "Guess you're working for free!"
Thank god I fly for a place that subscribes to the ideals that FOs should be seen but not heard.

Who am I? Where are my pants?
Wait -- we all ready had the discussion a couple years ago on here about how terrible the CRM and safety must be at an outfit where only the Captain can use the PA....right?
