I've never heard an AA crew give info about the weight of the airplane. They always do the flight time and the planned cruise alttitude. One time, way up to FL410 on a 757 (LAX to DFW), another, way down at FL210 on a F100 (DAL to LAX). Hearing speed isn't uncommon either. But like I said, never the weight of the plane.

And nothing like a landing in a good, stiff crosswind.

Hopefully, you get the Plat. status on AA.
