Meanwhile, when it snows for us here in the northwest (Portland, Seattle...)

(Granted, MSP has better snow removal equipment, and less steep hills... probably less ice... but it's still comical.)

Comical was when the idiot SEA mayor damn near got a bunch of people killed when he decided before a big snowstorm that the city street people would not be allowed to use salt on the roadways because the salt in the runoff might pollute Puget Sound, which of course is part of the Pacific Ocean...

:rolleyes:

Sounds about right for Seattle... they have some real planning challenges for that city the next 10 years. Growing inaffordability that's led to a major homeless crisis with tent cities everywhere. It's not a good look to be removing tents from homeless people, but they're huge dens of crime and drugs and property destruction as well as a major eyesore...

I’m planning to buy the uflymike set up for my qc15’s and wondering what plug to go with. Anyway to not rely on batteries or is it only dual plug set up?

#NeverForget

Remember that phone call when guys asked about that feature in IOCC not being there and management said "why would that matter? I would hope everyone wants to fly with everyone." As if pro standards never is or was a thing...

QC15 or QC25? I have both. The QC15 original uflymike (not Harmony) has been discontinued, however this is the only TSO'd version out there to my knowledge. The Harmony, which you can get for the 15 or 25, is not yet TSO'd, and I believe will only be TSO'd for the 25.

The tough part about the QC15 is Bose designed them so that when the AAA battery in it dies, not only does the noise canceling go away, but all sound goes away. That's why in order for the old uflymike (A100T) to be officially TSO'd you technically had to have TSO'd earbuds that plugged into the headphone jack on the model that you wore underneath the headphones. The advantage of the QC25 is much better noise canceling and the sound still works when the battery dies. I wore the non-TSO'd QC25 headset my entire time in the left seat at CPZ with numerous check airman and the FAA and no one ever complained. My idea was if anyone ever complained about it I'd just rock the David Clark headset for the trip. That never happened until I came to my new job and on my second IOE trip the captain asked me if that headset was TSO'd, to which I told him it wasn't so I wore the ship set. Now back to wearing the TSO'd 15's until they can get the TSO approval process completed for the 25's...

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the input, I have the QC 15’s. Sounds like the dual plug GA connection would be the best (or only) option?

Before I was a CA-in-training, it was an easy tie breaker between two possible pick ups. Now we gotta roll the dice! But, at least we have a place with really cool crews.

Yes. Dual plug GA is best. If you want to dot your i's and cross your t's, I'd recommend looking for a used uflymike online and then you can get it TSO'd through uflymike (you send it in for a couple weeks). Your call.
