HH,
WHAT? Ah, my head doesn't hurt. Oh, headSET. The company has Telex 750s in all the planes except the LCF (and maybe the -8, can't remember) where they provide an ANR headset. I'd say a third of the pilots bring their own setup.

On a completely non-interview related note...
747 guys, do y'all typically wear earpieces, headsets, ANR rigs, or whatever the heck you have lying around? I know a lot of the guys at my last gig used headsets because apparently the 747 is a loud cockpit. I just ran across an old headset of mine and I'm wondering whether to sell it or keep it.
Not that this is a big issue for the foreseeable future, but when the Mrs. says it's time to clean...it's good to know what might still be useful.

All of the Atlas 74's have Telex 750's except the LCF's which have active noise cancelling headsets. Most guys use the company headsets but I've also seen quite a few Bose and Sennheisers.
Use what you want or make some cash on Ebay.

World, I was the military girl (~5000TT, KC-10s/KC-135s) on your interview day...again, I can't stop remarking at how everyone in the group was sharp, and I wish everyone the best! Yes, nice review of our day in Miami, btw!
I can't wait to hear what shakes out!!

The cockpits really aren't that noisy.

In addition, in the day to day world at Atlas the people with good headsets do a much better job of understanding ATC and, as a result, make fewer errors.
Professionals make a point of using good tools, and it is long past time for pilots to do the same.
Rant over.

But those old guys (and that definition is anyone that is older than me!!) need to retire. That would solve a lot of my problems!!
I bought the Sennheiser HMEC26BVK about 1.5 years ago, and I love them. A little bulky to carry, and you have to get used to the pressure against the side of your head, but damn, they work really well.

When I asked the interview panel guys they told me that if you got the job you can expect both a phone call AND a letter, if you did not get the job you were to just expect a letter. A friend who had the interview earlier said an email was sent. Perhaps I translated "letter" as meaning snail mail but could just as easily have meant electronic.
