... and this is why I think that north American carriers are
insane to have made it the industry standard to NEVER make cabin announcements.
Honestly, I'm not sure that I'd do another transAtlantic flight without one. (Our flights did do announcements)-- because there was not a corporate prohibition on them at the time.
I'd hate to think that my DD can't go back to the UK, which she
loved. She would like to study overseas, but man, that nut allergy is a WICKED barrier to the required travel.
