I actually don't rubber band much at all. The passenger 767s don't need an intercom and have pretty quiet duct noise with the packs on. The cargo planes get very loud, so I'm not going to judge a person for rubber-banding the mic switch.
My comment is because I keep finding mic switches that stick because people have wadded up so much paper in them. Having a mechanic fix my mic switch by digging out wads of paper is getting old. So, again, thanks everybody for using rubber bands instead of paper wedges.
