Swedish PA

[FlyingIrishman]

Can I ask a big favour of someone who speaks Swedish: I have been called to Sweden for a few days flying next week and would like to have a basic PA ready for when I go over there. If there is anyone kind enough to translate the following into Swedish I would be very grateful:

Ladies and Gentlemen, good morning/afternoon/evening and welcome aboard, this is your captain speaking. My name is xxx and assisting me on the flight deck is first officer xxx. You have a great crew looking after you in the cabin led by cabin supevisor xxx and her team of xxx, xxx and xxx who will take good care of you this morning/afternoon/evening.

We are almost ready to go, just waiting for the last bits of paperwork to be completed, expecting to close the doors and start the engines in the next 5 minutes. The expected flight time today is approximately x hours and x minutes, our routing today will take us away from xxx towards xxx, then passing xxx, xxx and xxx, before beginning our descent over xxx. We will be cruising at xxx thousand feet and weather en route should be good.

The cabin crew will be performing a safety demonstration while we taxi the aircraft to the runway so I would ask you to please pay them your full attention as it is not only for your own safety but also for those passengers seated around you.

I will be speaking to you later on with more information about the flight, the latest weather for xxx and the approximate arrival time. In the meantime please relax and enjoy the service, thank you for your attention.



Thanks,

TFI

You must be the bigest idiot on earth. The guy ask a very simple question, and you just like to make a fool out of him - what a "non Scandinavian" way to help....

However, I can only help in Danish and Norweigian - but there must be some helpfull swedish pilots out there...

Best of luck

[FlyingIrishman]

Thanks for the support, Scandinavian, and yes, there are an awful lot of eejits around the place.

If you can be bothered, I would also welcome Norwegian, as I'm also rostered for a flight to Norway from there.

Thanks

[Dualbleed]

give your e-mail and I'll send one in Danish or Norwegian
:ok:

My suggestion is as follows:
“Mina damer och herrar, detta är er kapten som talar. Jag skulle vilja önska er en god morgon/god dag/god kväll och välkommen ombord på denna flygning. Jag heter xxx och till min högra sida har jag styrman xxx till min hjälp. Den trevliga kabinpersonalen, bestående av kabinchef xxx och medarbetare xxx, xxx och xxx, vilka kommer ta god hand om er denna morgon/dag/kväll.

Vi är alldeles snart redo att ge oss iväg, så snart de sista pappren är ifyllda. Vi beräknar att kunna stänga dörrar och starta motorerna om cirka 5 minuter. Flygtiden för denna flygning beräknas bli x timmar och x minuter. Flygningen kommer att ta oss från xxx mot xxx, passerar xxx, xxx och xxx, innan vi sedan börjar sjunka över xxx. Vi kommer att flyga på xxx tusen fot och vädret ser bra ut för hela flygningen.

Medans vi taxar flygplanet till startbanan kommer kabinpersonalen gå igenom säkerhetsdemonstrationen. Jag ber er att rikta er koncentration mot denna demonstration, inte bara för er egen säkerhet utan även för era medpassagerares.

Ni kommer att höra mer från mig senare, med mer information om flygningen, senaste vädret för xxx och den beräknade ankomsttiden. Ni kan undertiden slappna av och njuta av den goda servicen. Tack för er uppmärksamhet.”

I prefer Esperto's PA.
Also , if you don't speak the language, I think most pax would prefer an English PA rather than suffer through a non-speaker's
fumbling attemt reading off a script.
Nice thought, though.
This is what I have been told from F/A's , who of course also have to listen to the drivel from up front.

[FlyingIrishman]

Frazer,

Thanks very much this is much appreciated. I do have a vague knowledge of Swedish so hopefully won't sound like a total moron.

[speed of ssssss]

Why hit "I. M. Esperto" in the head with a hammer - it´s a joke...!
Look at it the scandinavian way: with homour.... :D

[I. M. Esperto]

Thanks speed. It was for a laugh. I thought an Irishman was supposed to have a sense of humor.

[Miserlou]

Typical of an American to think Sweden is a town in Germany!

[FlyingIrishman]

Esperto,

I did have a quiet chuckle to myself when I read your post but I was asking for a real Swedish PA, not an eejit translation.

[I. M. Esperto]

Sure, an ya wanted an eejut translation, Irishman. How's this?
