If I recall correctly from a posting, the reason for the HP announcement was that TSA required that all passengers be informed where the flight deck was located and it was cheaper to make an announcement than to add signs to all flight deck doors, which is what US did. Search for the discussion about other issues -- such as HP culture to wear name tags and introduce themselves and US culture to remain anonymous. Quite interesting.
Close. US did put signs on the flightdeck door and so met the federal requirement of letting you know where it was; HP did not and, accordingly, must include that info in its announcements in order to meet federal regulations.
