Does anyone care? Have yet to meet any uniform/appearance/iPad charger/luggage sticker/lapel pin/headset police at AA. Maybe they all work for Delta.

Never once had an issue in 10 years on the bus. It’s quiet. I’ve got headsets they stay at home. No need on this plane.

Buy a decent pair of ANC headsets. Bose is Cadillac but probably overkill. I..uh… took a long term loan on a pair of company headsets when we had 4 on board and a mechanic showed up and dropped off a brand new set, still in the box. (Eventually returned). I used them for years waiting for the iPads to replace Jepp charts in my bag, creating space to buy and carry a larger ANC model. They’ll work in a crunch (in spite of the fact the mic is junk and the other pilot can’t understand 1/3 what you say) but holy CATS do you notice the decrease in fatigue when you go ANC. AND.. Need to call dispatch through Crew Central APP? Works like a champ through your headsets. AND.. I’d never advocate listening to music but rumor has it something playing quietly in the background helps keep guys awake during red eye flights.

newjetnet.aa.com, /menu/deals and discounts/David Clark. DC Pro-X2, Bluetooth w/ dual plug -$670. The order comes direct from David Clark and they throw in a free DC logo hat that makes you IRRESISTIBLE to flight attendants when paired with cargo shorts and white new balance sneakers. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, tiger.

I did. Company CKA. 3 years on property, ~11,XXX seniority number. Acted like a 30+ year CKA veteran. Zero comm skills.

I don't get that one. What's wrong with a Sony Walkman? I actually treated myself to one when I upgraded.

GoAroundFlaps2

did you get the Airbus adapter or does it work well with the 2 prong?

Brohland1

You need both. Some planes have the 2 prong and some have the Airbus receiver. You can buy the adapter on Amazon for about $30.

Confused by this. You are saying you had an 11k seniority number CKA that also questioned you about a non-TSO headset?

Arado 234

Yes. I didn't even use it for listening to ATC or participate in the cockpit conversation, I just used the noise cancelling function. He told me Sony's are non-TSO. I just acknowledged but you can imagine what I really meant ...

Beech Dude

Well this says it all...probably loves the Preeeeems and was excited about the seat fill opportunities that Hogg said we should do as industry standard
