Skipness One Echo:
Later when we were downwind, the laid back and dulcet tones of the Captain as he explained the aircraft departing ahead had undergone a rejected take off was a country mile from the STRESS levels in the poor cc's voice! You've either got the patter or you haven't.
Nail. Hit. Head. It was, presumably, the flight attendant's first real-life go-around, hence the well-intentioned yet counter-productive explanation.
Perhaps CC should be trained to
wait for the captain to give a PA in the event of a go-around? Just a thought!
So your go-around was due to an RTO? I wonder whether it was high-speed.
In the spirit of the thread, I remember having two high-speed RTOs at Berne when I was a youngster. Lots of luggage was off-loaded because the aircraft was "overweight". Passengers off-loaded too between attempted take-offs.
But the real highlight was when the crew announced once we were finally en-route to London: "Thank you for flying XYZ (I can't remember which airline). We cease trading at midnight tonight." There was some concern whether those bags would ever make it back to London.
