just put it on the yoke switch to keep it in intercom all the time
then tell the old farts you would like to still have your hearing when you are 65

But yeah, 767 guys will now just work twice as hard with pay still falling far below their 747 brothers.

Part of the hot mike option set up is a transducer (my word as I forget the term), that can handle being on all the time. If you hold a non hot mike one open with a rubber band it burns it out prematurely and renders the intercom inop.

I don't really understand the whining from a few people(at least captains) about life on the 767. Not a single one of you was forced to go to that airframe. I was here before we got the planes and knew exactly what the schedule would be and as such chose not to bid it. So knowing what it would be like why are you now biatching about the schedule. It's hub turns. Every freight airline since the Wright brothers that flies freight hub turns has had the same type schedule. There are plenty of old AIA guys here that would've told you what it was going to be like.
