BA crew
As a frequent traveller, can anyone explain why BA crews love the sound of their voices on the passenger announcement system? My latest trip was from JFK-LHR and before we had left the stand there were 5 announcements, mostly repetitive and over the top, followed by the captain speaking. After take off, the in charge steward spoke for about 5 minutes, then another one from another crew member and then the captain again talking about nothing. The MOST irritating is about 1hr 30 from landing when you are still relaxing, the personal TV screen constantly goes blank for 4 or 5 crew announcements....and about 1 was safety related!
Believe me, passengers don't want cabin crew earache on a longhaul flight!
My other experiences, notably with VS and JAL, is I only remember hearing the crew before take off and before landing and in fact on JAL, big messages come on the video screen while movies playing re duty free, fasten seat belts for turbulence etc etc. Calm flights!
