Let's split hairs.... because this is APC
Read the wording under FOM 7.2.5 under Required Flight Crew Equipment
So use your own non-TSO headset and make sure a TSO'd headset is
available and
accessible that you
supplied and
maintained.
By that wording, I don't see where it states shall
use or
wear/don a TSO'd headset...
And it states
his... so our female pilots are exempt?
I mean. It also states we need to carry the spare battery around. But it doesn't say it needs to be charged to any level!
