During PA system use, whose transmission overrides all others?

Explanation:
The thing being tested is priority in the PA system—the person in command has the highest input priority. In flight operations, the pilot in command (often the captain) must be able to address everyone clearly and without interference. So the PA system is designed so the pilot’s transmission takes precedence, effectively muting or suppressing other inputs when they speak. This ensures that safety-critical or clear, authoritative announcements reach passengers and crew without competing chatter. That’s why the pilot’s transmission overrides all others; transmissions from the copilot or cabin crew do not automatically outrank it, and not all transmissions are treated as equal.
