These announcements are getting childish and silly. I've heard sUA FAs/pilots making these ridiculous "This is real UA flight blah blah blah" just like i've heard sCO FAs saying "CO Crew" etc etc etc. For the record our work groups our still separate. The only sUA FAs working sCO aircraft are the 119 sUA FAs that crossed over to the sCO side. I'm sCO and when I make announcements i always welcome passengers on board United Flight xxx to yyy and so forth. I do say over the PA where we are based, but I don't say anything about being a sCO FA on a sCO aircraft, and so forth. To me the FAs/pilots on both sides making those announcements just are making them selves look stupid.

I've heard it form both sides. In fact flew IAH-SEA last week on a sUA aircraft and the FA upon her arrival announcement made the childish announcement about being a Real UA FA on a real UA aircraft based in a real UA city.
