There will be a lot of faulty advice given, and this:
If the flight is delayed (arriving late), and people have to make connecting flights, as a pax I REALLY appreciate it if you tell people what flights are leaving from which gates before landing. (Yes, you can just announce the connecting flights that the most people have to catch.
Or tell people where you can meet a gate agent to tell you where to go.

And politely request that passengers, who don't have a very tight connection to meet, to please remain seated to give the people rushing for a connecting flight a chance.)
is one of the more harebrained! The pilot has an aeroplane to fly. He will have no idea what gates are being used by other services or airlines. If you follow this advice, you will not only be neglecting the most important task you have (er....flying an aeroplane), but you will be taken out of the loop and not listening on the radio too. Don't listen to this one! It is nonsense. Some of these announcements (if any) should come from the cabin crew, NOT the pilot. Your voice will be droning on and on and on if you run through this- keep it short and simple or people will not listen!

Why can't some of you answer a serious query from somebody who wants to know without dazzling us with stupid attempts at humour? It comes across as pathetic. His English may not be good and your comments will be insulting and obscure.
