Which is why I’ll never climb out on CI99 speeds
Airbus 320 at 280kts in climb, nice
Airbus 320 at 330kts in climb, bad.
I’ll never take my ANR headset off if someone is doing a CI99 climb until we get to cruise.
And if I’m flying with someone who has their speaker turned up way too loud, to the point I don’t even need a speaker to hear the radios, I’ll turn my speaker up loud, let them realize it’s too loud, they adjust theirs down, and then I bring mine down.
