I couldn't agree with you more on that point BlueEagle, I spend a lot of time in the air as a passenger, and cannot wait for the PAs to be finished, so that I can settle down and watch a movie or sleep undisturbed - a lot of airlines have done surveys on this and found that is what majority of the passengers want. On the point of all these "fancy" titles for the cabin staff, what a load of poppycock. In the cockpit you have a Captain and a FO, plain and simple - why not keep it as simple in the back of the aircraft? Can you imagine the fancy names we could come up for the Captain?
