It was weird as shit, it was like "I pray dear lord that you bless these passengers with a wonderful and safe visit to our nation's capital", and shit like that, for two minutes.

Made me feel uncomfortable as fuck to be honest. I don't want to hear that shit on a plane.

It used to be common, apparently. I remember my grandfather talking about it. Possible the pilot was just old.

Still weird as hell though.

American, I thought about recording it but eh. To be honest I missed like half the announcement listening to music but it kept going on so I had to listen in.

So he said it calmly and everything, it sounded like a normal announcement so I don't think people got freaked out by that. But I personally didn't appreciate it - I can just imagine if there was a Muslim pilot giving a prayer in English but talking about Allah people would be like "what the fuck", so why is it OK for some white christian guy to do it. I'm not even religious which is why it bugged me, but I guess I need to buy better headphones.

Yeah most likely a much older pilot then. From what I heard from my old manager that used to be a common practice when flying on any national airline. But yeah gotta report that dude, just imagine if the same said pilot said "allahu akbar" instead. Shit like that shouldn't be tolerated.

Maybe if you're the type that believes in micro-agressions, and needs a safe space so their feelings don't get hurt.

This is such a silly thing to get upset about.

Part of this context is the experience with religious people, I would imagine. Like if I'm around a church, or religious school, or the one crazy but harmless lady that sits on the stairs at the plaza, it wouldn't bug me. That's normal and expected.

When there's no context for it, it's creepy as heck. It would've bugged me out, but now that I know about that old custom of praying in planes, it won't bug me out as much.

Why?

If you're eating at a restaurant would you appreciate it if the waiter showed up and started preaching to you about jesus?

I get that, and I wouldn't want someone fired over something like this tbh, but I find it ridiculous that someone should use their position like that to recite religious prayers, and unless you have headphones you don't have a choice but to listen to it.

He didn't describe a verb, so it's not something someone would be "doing"; it is a quality of their person to get mad at preferred pronouns. Read, son, read.
