As a pilot myself, I loved that feature. Too bad they discontinued it, so there is no good reason for me to fly United anymore :)

Yep. I loved to listen to that communication even as a non-pilot... all the way from the ground where sometimes I could hear the discussions about trying to leave the gate (or getting a gate on arrival if we were late) and all the way in between. I use to go out of my way to fly United just because of that feature.

Probably the cheapest value add the airline had, even for the relatively few that probably cared. Oh well....
