British Airways Airbus A 319 announcement from cabin crew

[joeshorney1]

Um what they mean by "if" is that they make this announcement 3-4 times during boarding. The "if" means if you haven't heard the PA before

[lindenbeck]

Looooooooooong live british english. The american should learn more british english. The only thing what they can do is to do torture people see Iraq and Guatanoma Bay. And drop the A-Bomb to Japan

@lindenbeck

Are you on dope?

[holamad]

crew do not make PAs up, it's all writen down and they simply follow the procedure and read PAs book , her PA is very professional , good

[STColeridge22]

What does she mean, "If you have just joined us?" When the hell do people normally join flights, half way through? 

[djtechnofreak]

@STColeridge22 if you watched you would see they were still on the ground. derrrr

[STColeridge22]

@djtechnofreak No, you don't understand me. "If you have just joined us." Of course they have, they have just got on the plane, haven't they? So why say "If"? It's just one of those annoying little phrases that people say when they don't even think of the meaning. Derrr.

@STColeridge22  Because she probly made a similar announce ment eariler during boarding and is now making it again for the benifit of people who have just got onboard !

[STColeridge22]

Right, I see your point. Still a little irritating though. Even though the last few may still be putting their bags in the overhead bins there is no need for, "if you have just joined us", because even the last people have obviously just joined. The "if" is to denote ambiguity, but in this case there is none because everyone has just joined the plane, unless the announcement is being broadcast in the departures hall too. Anyway just a comment on language more than anything else.

@STColeridge22 No, I am guessing that this flight had more than one stop. As a result, it may have picked up more passengers at some point.

@STColeridge22 ya but this is during boarding !!
