Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I was just curious if there was a requirement for the aircrew to make any form of communication to the passengers.
Like Jason I like to hear a confident captains voice at the start of a flight with info provided such as flight time, weather and other issue that may affect the flight.
In saying this the connecting flight from Gold Coast to Sydney was great. Pilot said from the start we might have to hold above Sydney due to traffic and we are expecting showers, which is exactly what happened.
Whatever the requirements are, having the aircrew communicate with the passengers (the customers) I think is good for business and makes the passengers feel part of the flight. It also indicates the comfort and safety of the passengers is important to the person in charge. Otherwise might as well fly UPS of Fedex
