I just would rather not have to buy an expensive headset and then tote it around and most likely lose it at some point. So assuming they have headsets available, do many people just use the airplane headsets? thanks
The airplanes have headsets, sure, but on my aircraft (757/767, mostly Delta-south airplanes) they headset is the David Clark, one ear headset. Not very comfortable - so I bought one a Telex 750 off ebay. Works great.
The Delta-north airplanes were outfitted with some version of the Telex headset, so most of the ex-NWA pilots don't seem to own a headset. Also, the Airbuses seems required an adapter or a different type of headset plug than the Boeings.
