I asked the CSM how come we don't have... "Welcome to Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport"....as part of the welcome PA anymore.
Wow. Hadn't noticed that. I normally make an effort to mention the specific name of the airport as part of my descent PA. It's normally prefaced by the town and then the name- if it's got one. Sydney's Kingsford Smith, Singapore's Changi, Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi (even had a local teach me how to say it properly), Hong Kong's chep lap kok, Melbourne's Tullamarine, etc.
I shouldn't be surprised though. When the office whallahs are focusing on the small stuff like that (and sending out memos to crew reminding them not to wear any Chrissie gear) then you can be confident that there is a whole bunch of big stuff that they're missing.
