Agreed. It would also be nice to not be permanently deaf in my left ear from having to lift the earcup so I can hear the other guy over the roaring noise in the cockpit. I wish more 737 guys would be down with the rubber band trick. So far I've flown with exactly 2 Captains in 6 months that wanted to use the rubber band.
It's kinda crazy that we don't have a user-friendly interphone system in the modern era. Couple that with a noisy 1960's-ish cockpit and we will all be deaf by the time we mandatorily retire at 75.
