BERLINS UPI Aviation Editor Washington - ami - Note to airline captains who talk too much and airline captains who don't talk at all: Passengers don't like either extreme. This was the gist of a Unit ed Air Lines survey of pas senger reaction to flight crew use of the public ad dress system. United did not reveal how many travelers were questioned but said most were businessmen who fly a lot. The majority, the airline re ported, prefer: -At least one PA announce, ment from the cockpit before take-off or shortly thereafter, , giving the planned altitude, general route, weather condi tions en route and at destina tion, flying time and time of arrival. -Any pertinent en route Information, but brief and to the point. -No lengthy travelogues but occasional mention of well - known or Interesting landmarks. -Frank and full explana tions for any delays. -News of special interest, such as World Series scores or dramatic space achievements. (Several passengers praised the thoughtfulness of pilots who kept them informed of John Glenn's orbital flight). Normal Service United said the survey showed an overwhelming feeling that regular pilot PA announcements should be a normal part of cabin service. Not one passenger favored complete silence from the cockpit. But some criticism I was expressed of captains I who make long winded j speeches. I Significantly, a number of travelers commented that too many captains fail to explain Incidents that may be routine to a pilot but may generate uneasiness in a pasrenger. For example, several suggest-1 ed that flashing on the "fasten seat belts" sign during a flight always should he pre ceded by a cockpit, announce ment of why it: is necessary. No complaints were rcRls-' tered about pilot voice, dic tion and pronunciation. Ap parently passengers do not expect pilots to sound like professional announcers. But, as United put It, "they do ex pect flight crews to provide factual messages about the aircraft and Its progress." United published the sur vey results in "Cockpit," a news letter distributed among its flight personnel. It did not Issue any compliance order. Explained one UAL official: "Let's face It. There are caplains who would almost rather lose a wing than get on the PA, there are captains who use It wisely and effec tively, and there are captains who are outright hams. 1 don't think It's possible to do anything but lay down a gen eral policy and .lu.it hope the majority of pilots adhere to It." Americans Spend ! Billions To Relax ' At, backyard conknuls and In home workshops; In crowd ed stadiums and at gnlt courses, heaches, marinas and pools - Americans by (he mil lions are "at ease." Over .10 billion dollars are spent annually by energetic citizens on combined leisure and recreational activities and related gear. This Is double what they spend on new cars or home goods. In fact, from early summer to the last sunny days of fall, Americans are doing so many things out of doors that the days are "just too short." There's constant fun around the barbecue, poolslde and on the patio - or, the family takes off In the car for a pic nic, sightseeing or for long week ends. IIP AIR C COMFORT..
