Is a noise canceling (Ear Cup) style headset a problem in the DC9?
Well I've only flown NWA DC9's, & the company provided 2 ear Telex 750 headsets. The flight deck is fairly quiet. When you accelerate out of 10,000ft it gets a little noisy, but through the mid 20's it quiets down considerably. It's always quiet enough to communicate without an interphone though.
The headset will probably be compatible, but the problem you may encounter is your CA probably won't use the hot mike. We never do at NWA. With noise canceling headsets that may be a problem.
That's the only problem I could think of.
