too much PA kill the PA

[SQ]

I made quiet a lot of flights with Air canada recently
planes are clean, service not too bad, quiet authoritary, entertainment program is cool, food is from cara .... often on time and not waiting too long front of the gate for the ramp crew
BUT
only for YUL>YYZ there has bee 4 PA before T/O.
it seems that each action initiated by flight attendant is introduced by a PA
we gonna serv you hot or cold beverage
why say that, people can SEE it, at least it would have a sense if there was a choice announced before, beef or chicken like that the poor F/A wouldn't repeat it at each row
we gonna interupt service because captain said turbulence
just say it ONCE, then do a reminder if people don't follow procedure
we remind you seat belts on balblabla and the entertainment cut each time
we gonna serve you beverage again
Just DO it people can SEE it
we gonna we gonna we gonna
when are you gona just DO you job and stop commenting it ?

wich is cool at the beginning but very annoying on a transatlantic flight with more turbulence than usual, and at the end you wish you had invisible flight attendants

why so much blablabla ? is that a way to make the customer believe someone is taking care of him ?
some customers complained about it.

[whoop whoop pull up]

wtf over.

SQ, you really need to invest in "Hooked on Phonics" as well as turning on your spell check. My question to you is this: Do YOUR passengers actually understand YOUR P.A.'s?

Maybe english isn't SQs native language As long as you understand what they're saying, why harp on them? Does it bother you that much?

I spail anglish as I wante
as long you gonna attack me on that, I d'ont care about the @#$! you say
It was just a question about air canada procedures, not a problem to understand their Pa because air canada fait les annonces aussi en français gros con
d'ailleurs there are as many english passengers as frenchies in an AC flight, you moron.
but may be you should learn to read and extract its subject from a sentence , here it is not "spelling during AC PA", but too many PA

Sorry dude, you're still not making any sense.

[twinpratts]

I remember during my commuting days, trying to get my grove on with my IPOD... if only they would SHUT the Fck UP with the PA's Already!

I feel your pain SQ

[tonysoprano]

The PA's keep pax informed and reminded of pertinent or safety issues. It's been SOP at this company for ever and that's the way Transport Canada likes it. Most other flag carriers follow similar procedures. Doesn't seem to bother most people. Maybe the issue lies somewhere else. Sorry guys, I feel the same way too sometimes. Hey look at it this way, it's better than hearing crummy, embarrassing jokes.

[Ali G]

Tony, if it is embarrassing, maybe you should get new material.

Damn it Ali, I'm just a pilot!

invest in some earplugs man. I pop them in as soon as I get to my seat. You can still hear all you need to but not at that annoyingly overloud level it's at so you can hear over the brat screaming for chocolate two seats back

[mulligan]

As an employee I would suggest SQ and others complain to the company. I sit in the back a lot and certainly find the number of PAs tiresome. This is something that needs to be at a bare minimum. If enough people complain something might get done.

[SQ]

unfortunatly employees are less if not at all, listened, and suggestions in general fall in a dark and deep hole called "company improvement"
too big company AC.
they will more listen to customers, wich is natural in a sense, and even not so sure
but it's not so important

[tonysoprano]

SQ.

but it's not so important

You could of fooled me.

[SQ]

You could of fooled me.

[tonysoprano]

I guess you meant it's not important to the company what customers think? Look, the PA's are important. As a frequent passenger myself, I don't see what you see. Not worth your time or ours.

I think there is a little missunderstanding here.
I was saying PA are useless when it DOESN'T concerne safety and all items related to that matter. more than that is BS and "babysitting".
I DO think PA are very important as they are supposed to inform Pax about safety features and procedure.
I know AC does not give a fucking shit about what customers thinks, otherwise service would be much much more friendly & better, and plane would not wait several minutes at gate before a ground crew shows up. passengers would have more than some old subway as a snck from YYZ to LAX or LGA or XXXX, or a plastic glass with a hole in it like that you receive water on your pants and F/A doesn't even come back with napkins (I saw that arrive to somebody twice on 2 flights). AC manager should travel with other carrier in order to have a good knowledge about what competitors offer to their customers, and standards are much more higher...
you're a bit brainwashed and should take some distances toward Air Canada as your ultra positive attitude lacks some criticism that make a balance being balanced.

Please fill the rest of us in on what AC's competitors are offering on the YYZ to LAX or LGA sectors. Have you flown on a major US carrier lately? They don't offer any more services than AC does. The main competition for AC in Canada is Westjet and they don't offer free food either (snacks don't count) and they make you pay for your headsets. If you want more than just a subway snack, pay the extra cash and fly business class.

Continental provides a hot meal for everyone form IAH to YYC. AC doesn't even provide
J class with hot meals, just some cold crap

The IAH to YYC flight is on a Jazz 705. It doesn't have any ovens hence the cold meals. It would be different if it was on a CO 737 or an AC A320 as it would have some hot meals for J class and buy on board for the back.

[The Hammer]

Last time I checked AC charges pretty much the same for the cold crap.

Ps why not put a real airplane on it??? Montie B. is already complaining they bought too many embraer. Must be one kicking around

[Rebel]

Hmm I wonder what service CO will offer after their merger. Actually I’m not a RJ fan. If you want to compete, the Jungle Jet is a big step up, but it still falls short of a Boeing or Airbus ..Hey it’s all about money but that’s just my opinion..

Oh and all this PA BS stuff, I travel a lot in the back (Commuter). On the average compared to the competition our PA's are professional, in good taste and exceed Government guide lines. So give it a rest.
