Hi everybody

As a survey for the Captains. The welcome PA from the cockpit, do you perform it or do you leave your first officer to do that?
I usually see in most of my flights the first officer does that or even sometimes no message from the flight deck. I rarely listen to the captain.

"I rarely listen to the Captain".
Welcome on board, we love to fly people who actually pay attention. *where is my offload form*
PS: I know what ur saying. Sarcasm mode here.
As the time has passed that FOs were slaves😁 he/she is not "my" FO but "the" FO. Company policy is that the Captain makes the PA.

Must be the same company where it's OK for newly-minted Captains to run to pprune for "answers", right, Jeroen?

If I'm flying I'll say hello. If not, my colleague will. And if I'm saying hello, I'll be brief. Name, flying time, comparison with schedule, relevant weather, anything else relevant. End.
