Yes,

I can see where you'd be confused. Airbus flex obviously doesn't realize that saying Boeing or noisy at FedEx (at least to you and many others) means the 727. However, the company does fly other Boeings, but I can see where a guy coming off the Airbus, where he's probably been for most of his FedEx career, might not realize that. He never really said he was going to the 727, just that he's gone to the "noisy Boeing." I agree with you that since he's gone to a different aircraft, he should have the courtesy to change his screen name, so as not to confuse guys when he posts.

That said, I'd get a lightweight, over the ear, headset, because once you get to altitude, you're probably going to be using the overhead speakers anyway, except in some foreign countries. Also get one that's inexpensive, or one that you're comfortable losing, because it would seem to me that after landing, having just flown 35 or 40 straight hours, you very well might forget the damn things on the jet, and I can speak from experience when I tell you the good headsets will develop legs and be gone, even before you get out of the limo at the hotel.
