"There's actually no regulation against doing what I did."

Actually, I bet there is such a regulation at AA.

For me, I want the pilot of any airliner I'm on to fly the darned plane. If he has an important safety announcement to make, then I want to hear from him. If he wants to point out some interesting feature on the ground, that's OK, too.

I don't want to hear about what he had for dinner, his date with the flight attendant, or his religious beliefs. I want him to pay attention to his job and fly me to my destination.

I'm sure it's very nice that he went on a misson trip. I'm sure he's all "filled with the Spirit" right now. That's great. Let him talk the copilot's ear off about it, although I'd rather he was going through the pre-takeoff checklist instead.

You've all seen the signs in the bus: "Do not talk to the Driver." The reverse makes just as much sense. Pay attention to your job, Mr. Pilot, and leave me alone.

LOL, I enjoyed the hyperbole on the other thread much more.

I want . . . . I don't want . . . .

As if the whole world is concerned about your personal wants. Why be so concerned about mere words from other people? So what if people express their personal views to you in person? You have a spine, don't you?
