"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this Captain Smith up here on the flight deck. On behalf of the crew I'd like to welcome you aboard this Qantas flight Los Angeles to Melbourne. We're just waiting for our push back clearance and once we're under way I'll get back to you with more details regarding flight times."
