Must admit I want to tell the punters what we are flying over especially if its great day.
But the captains say not to bother them. If someone asks then i will make a PA to the plane.
Some captains are very pro it themselves and as my type the bat curtain is all that shields us from the punters you an see everyone look out the window.
On larger wide bodies you also have to remember that the infomation is totally usless to 70%+ of the passangers and may cause distruptions from none window seat holders trying to look out.
Pre sept 11th I travelled with delta to FL and they had the RT piped onto one of the entertainment channels. Great for a PPL student. Hostie said it was oneof the more popular selections.
The other thing is that the pilots might not have a clue what you can see out of the window. I havn't had a chart out on the FD for 6 months apart from to use as a glare shield. If some one says whats that city we might not know off the top of our heads.
