Upfront01 - I take it you are an AC pilot
Absolutely better safe than than sorry. Let me just say that I feel very safe with an AC crew in the sharp end.
As far as the above flight goes, we were flying from MIA to IAD and the reported turbulence was for the landing. I suspect that they had reports from aircraft ahead that it was pretty bumpy.
I just thought that the left seat was over-egging the whole situation. A simple: "L&G, we may hit some turbulence on the way down, it's perfectly normal...nothing to worry about...plase keep your seatbelts fastened, etc." would have done, no?</font>
Thank you for your trust in our pilots who are probably among the best. They've proven it many times over.
No I'm not a pilot. Just a cabin crew that had to clean the mess and almost got hit by that cart that fell on the floor of the galley.
I cannot comment on why the captain on your flight used the words that he did. I'm not him and I wasn't there... could, should, would. I was just relating a personal exxperience. I still think that drama queen does not apply to a guy who was doing his job properly.
