I think I've had some flights where the announcement lasted 10 or more minutes...I've learned to tune it out, or turn up my iPod.

I get it though, the FAs get $5 (?) for every application that is completed.
Didn't know that about the FA bonus. Now everything -- including the "just to reiterate"-like line on the first flight -- makes perfect sense. I'm sure this is a great deal for US and the FAs, but still . . . .
