Does this not apply to the CRJ?
Continuous (“hot mike”) conversation is provided in the I/C position for the intercom systems. A radiotransmit (R/T) and intercom (I/C) switch is also provided on each pilot control wheel.
NOTE
Hot mic communications can be selected by any one of the following switches:
- RT/IC switch on any audio control panel
- INT/SVC transmit select switch on any audio control panel with PTT
pushed
- IC/OFF/RT switch on any audio control panel.
As far as RJ's, ERJ's have hot mics, but have the ability to turn it off on the yoke.
As do most (all?) Boeings, incidentally. I think Airbus is the same as well.
