"So, do you have that list of approved topics yet?"

For airline pilots speaking to passengers during flight? Yes, I have a list of approved topics:

the weather
the scenery
points of historical/scenic interest along the way
E.T.A.
explanations for delays

and that's pretty much it.

"...Yes, I have a list of approved topics:"

I suggest you begin by submitting it to John McCain. He's really good at this type of prohibition. Are any other employees to be limited to these topics, or just pilots? Should I begin burning my copy of the constitution now, or wait until these new restrictions actually take place?

and that's pretty much it.

How about important sports scores? I know I'd want to know what the scores were if I had money on a game.
