I'm just trying to understand...really.
At a previous airline I flew with lots of senior CAs who were similiar in age to the current guys I fly with and they all used hotmic. So it's not a generational thing.
I just don't get why some guys are so against hotmic. I get it a little more on the older 737s without the new comm panel, but even then all it takes is a rubberband. They even have them available in the CPO!
Sorry for the rant.
100% with you. It is ridiculous. People are yelling at each other with one ear cup off of their NC headset. We all should be using whatever we need to to protect our hearing IMO. If the company Won’t pay to put voice activated hot mike on every airplane they definitely aren’t going to do anything about your hearing loss. Some 757s have it too BTW.
