Heard it was a CP in Qatar. Haven't seen anything anywhere, where a pax can't/ is not allowed to use the PA without permission. He/She wouldn't have known how to use it in the 1st place, unless told how to use it, i.e. by cabin crew, hopefully with Capt's permission, but probably not. I can see more paper-work/ fleet instructions in the pipeline, coming our way. Choke
