Who delivers the Welcome Announcement on the ERJ?

The Welcome Announcement on the ERJ is typically delivered by the AFT Flight Attendant (FA). This individual plays a crucial role in passenger service, including making announcements that enhance the travel experience and ensure passengers are informed about the flight. The AFT FA is positioned at the rear of the cabin, allowing for effective communication and visibility, especially as passengers board and settle in.

In many airline operations, the Welcome Announcement is a key moment for establishing a connection with passengers, providing them with important information about the flight, safety protocols, and other relevant details. Since the AFT FA is specifically trained to manage in-cabin service and communication, they are tasked with this responsibility to ensure a smooth transition as the flight begins.

While the Pilot is responsible for overall flight operations and communication regarding safety and aircraft status, they typically do not engage in the initial welcome message to passengers. The Lead FA oversees cabin crew operations and might assist with announcements but generally does not make the Welcome Announcement unless specified. The Cabin Supervisor, who may have a leadership role, often ensures that all operations run smoothly but, similar to the Lead FA, does not usually deliver this initial announcement.
