Its not yours to throw in the trash, take it off if you dont want it, and put it back. Isnt that what everyone complains about, "putting the company headset back the way you found is?"
I do use the company headset and sanitize the mic headband and ear pieces before use. First I’ve only seen maybe three mic muffs my entire time here. Secondly, ear wax sponge, really? I do wear the ear muffs but something sitting on someone’s ears is much different than something they spit on for hours and possibly let touch their mouth. Multiply that by thousands of hours and thousands of pilots and it’s gross to keep those on there. It does work better with them and since I’ve only ever seen three of them I may start bringing my own. Didnt even know you could just buy a pack of muffs. Quite honestly knowing that, they should supply them right next to the Sani-coms and the ear plugs.
