This is very dangerous to speak about - bear with us please, it will all come good in the end!

'This is your Captain speaking...'
The reason that we are blogging about this is that many people with a fear of flying have certain expectations from the voice that comes over the PA when flying. In our experience, we have heard both men and woman say that the voice they want to hear come over the PA has to have most of the following characteristics: (not in any particular order)
To the nervous flyer, your imagination runs riot. You need to feel safe and secure. Certain voices conjure up better images. Many people have told us what they like to hear from the pilot's voice. Believe it or not, many women have told us that they prefer to hear a male voice say, 'Hi, this is your Captain speaking....'
If you knew how many years, money, training, perseverance/tenacity it takes to get into the flight deck of any commercial aircraft....The checks pilots have to go through...being re-tested every few months on their ability to handle all the scary situations you can imagine...the medicals...the peer checking...the procedures...the back up systems for everything... If you knew all of that, you would not care how the voice sounds over the PA.
Take care,

In our experience, we have heard both men and woman say that the voice they want to hear come over the PA has to have most of the following characteristics: (not in any particular order)
- Posh or at least well spoken
- A little bit formal...some humour is okay but not too much!
- Be quite technical 'runway two seven...' (sounds authoritative)
- Not sound too young or too old
- If an accent, make it a slight accent, sexy is okay
- Male
- This might be a little bit shocking to some of you? For those of you with a fear of flying, you know what we mean though don't you?!
