Similar thread on airliners.net; journo needs to be flogged...

>>>c) pilots - for understandable reasons - do not often explain what has happened

Not fast enough to the pax's satisfaction, anyways, but they don't consider that the folks in the front "might be kinda busy.."

Best PA I ever heard on the subject:

GA occurred due to traffic failing to clear ahead of us. PIC came on about a minute later after some yanking and banking and opened his PA with "Ladies and Gentlemen, AS YOU PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE NOTICED, we didn't land and....." The humor took the edge right off, from what I could tell sitting in the back.
