Are you saying that AS 737 and 320s are different than other companies?
I did make a mistake, i meant to say the XLR and not LEMO. I'll own up to that.
you gave half the wrong answer which is not even helping, and led people questioned if our plane is ‘special’, it’s not! It’s the same as any other guppy and Airbus but we getting paid a discount to fly!

I thought I read on APC somewhere that AA (maybe spirit too?) switched out all their XLR-5 plugs for dual plugs on their buses for fleet commonality…so I guess airline specific questions may be valid.

thanks for the clarification, but bottomline is, it’s the very least important thing that browsers on this ‘AS hiring’ thread should worry about.
On the bus, ship set is provided and we go topless above transitions alt anyway.

It’s literally the only subject on this thread that hasn’t been beaten to death, brought back to life and then beaten to death again.

I never did. Brought my own ANR headset on the Bus and kept it on the whole flight. It's much quieter than the 737 but I don't consider it quiet enough to risk hearing damage over a 35+ yr career.

Is there really a risk of suffering hearing damage for pilots who don't keep headsets on while flying the Bus, or Guppy?

No on the Bus. He’s one of the only ones who wore one. 99% of crews had the headsets off before cruise on the Bus.

Pretty neat chart on page 13, however most of the readings were from the cabins and not cockpits. I believe the old rule of thumb was that if you had to raise your voice to converse then you should be wearing hearing protection.

For those who've gotten a call to interview recently, can anyone give SA on how far calls are coming before date of availability? Or are the people getting calls available immediately?
