It often even is the other way around. The captain asks the purser if it is ok for him to speak using the public adress.
Really?
I have never asked permission ever to use the PA (from anyone but the captian in trainee/ f/o days)
Our SOP is that Captian is in charge of everything (obviously crew dont just ask the captian for anything, but for PA, serving times, etc it is
normal for CC ot ask the captian... thats our SOP anyway), Everyone works around/ with the Captian, however we also have scheduled
times for Captian/ Cabin Crew to use the PA
Eg,
[Captian Announcment if desired now] (with a time)
That would have definatly been new to me when I eventually move to a larger airline such as QF/ VB etc
