It appears to be the VX norm for the pilot to come out to make his announcements and have a bit of a chat. On my last two flights in F, they have also invited kids into the cockpit to take a look and even pose for a photo. I am so jealous...
It seems the pilot announcements in the cabin are more hit or miss now. First 6 months they were pretty regular, but not so much anymore. Some still do, though. Some try to make sure they do every flight.
