Lynn has a point.....am I the only airline pilot who gives a running commentary of what I'm doing over the PA?
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am just about to extend the flaps, that is the slight lift you'll feel. Now, the loud noise you're about to hear is the sound of the wheels being lowered for landing and if you can hear a slight slurping noise, I did tell you at the beginning of the flight that our cabin crew really are here to make the flight as enjoyable as possible. Thank you for flying with us today."
He is winding us up. Surely no sane pilot would ever contemplate coming over the PA with that stuff. Unless, of course he loves the sound of his own voice and that happens a lot.
