the best example of “do as I say not as I do” I have seen in a very long time
This was the case on my flight today. Sub-500 mile flight. FA announced during her 10k announcement that they'd been told to stay seated. Capt. said this again at his "passing 20k ft" announcement and said lots of turbulence reports on our route.
Flight was one of the smoothest I've had in a while. Capt did apologize on his descent announcement and said something like "I guess the air was smoother than we expected".
To be fair, we were flying right over/behind all the storms blowing through the southeast US today, so I don't doubt that there were plenty of rough air reports earlier in the day.
