I don't mind them, especially after something unusual (turbulence, rough landing, etc). My only problem is with pilots who go on and on and on over the PA - in fact that's half the reason I started wearing headphones while flying.

"Our trip today will take us out over Leesburg, Virginia, then on out over Jefferson County, WV. We'll be flying over WV then on over Cincinatti, home of WKRP! Then over Indianapolis, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, part of Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, then north into Seattle. I'll be coming on as we cross each state line to announce any landmarks that half of you might be able to see if you really know where to look. Of course, I realize I wouldn't have to bug you with all this if we just allowed you to use GPS repeaters, since most of you have laptops with you, but since coach is so crowded I also know it's almost impossible to use those laptops in flight, so I might as well tell you where we are until AA puts position displays in the cabin in 2025. If you have any questions, just a reminder not to ring the call button for a flight attendant unless it's an emergency, as they have a 3 magazine per flight quota to get through. So that about wraps it up for now, I should probably get back to flying. Have a safe trip and enjoy one of our plasticy carb-boxes while they're still only $5."
