Airy Announcements
Judith Morgan’s delightful “Salute to the Hard-Working ‘Stews’ ” Aug. 11 created echoes of agreements in this traveler. Like Judith, I deeply appreciate the contributions of the flight attendants but also shudder at the cliches when they pick up the mike. To Judith’s hatred of the ubiquitous “We would like to welcome you to . . . “ instead of just plain “Welcome!” I add my pet grammatical peeve, the inevitable phrase in the remarks at flight’s end: “For those of you continuing on. . . .”
