We've read that AA FAs are like that, which is why we try to avoid flying with them. We've had great luck with UA FAs making an area-only announcement. They are glad to do it--as long as you're nice about it. Kindness goes a long way.
So I guess here is my question: would you be more forgiving if the FA made the announcement or if the parent did?
