How To Speak Like An Irish Pilot

I’ve noticed something.

When I fly on some airlines, the captain begins: “Dear passengers…”

And when I fly on other airlines, it’s: “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls…”

Both are correct.

But which one would a native speaker never say?

Talk Like A Native Speaker

On Monday, I flew Ryanair.

The captain had a slight Irish accent.

And he began his announcements with, “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.”

That’s what I’d say.

Saying “dear” before an announcement or speech just sounds strange.

It also looks strange in a text message or email.

Save “dear” for when you write a letter.

There are three more “correct” expressions I hear all the time that native speakers never say.
