What headset do you guys think is best for the 170/175?

I fly with the QC15/UFlyMike. Comfortable for the long legs and great dual purpose if you're a commuter.

They may not be "the best" but I'm happy with mine and didn't want to spend a grand for a headset.

Check out AeroCrew Solutions. They normally have some scheduled that Compass goes to. Expensive, but worth it. I honestly think they would have offered me an interview on the spot if it wasn't for my idiotic decision involving alcohol. The recruiters are pilots and good guys to get to talk to about the direction of the airline and morale of the pilot group.

Thanks. Do you know any fairs sooner than the Jan. 30 one they have listed? It looks like those are for Major and LLC's.

Doesn't appear to be one. I did the last one at DFW and its focus is on Spirit Airlines and most of the guys/gals there will be to meet with Spirit management/pilots, but nearly every regional I could think of was there besides Mesa. And you have a chance to talk with each one of them.

I highly recommend the David Clark ProX. I've worn the Bose A20 and the Telex 850 in the E175. Bose is a great headset but a little robust to wear for 8 hours at a time (and very expensive). The Telex is much lighter but can hurt your ears and head after a few hours. Also, the noise canceling is weak and the speakers just plain suck. You will miss radio calls. I got the DC's just to try for a trip or two and now I can't recommend them highly enough.

Do you use the ANR Pro X or the non ANR version?

For those looking at headsets for the bird - the plane has the old fashion mic/phone input and an ANR input for you fancy folk.

They have 6 pin plugs in them. Yes, that will save me some AA batteries. :)

On first year pay, whatever headset you currently own.

I use my 15-year-old David Clarks. :-)

ANR. You'd probably need ear plugs without the noise canceling.

Question about the flow up/down with Delta..
It says on the Compass profile that if Delta were to furlough, 90% of Compass pilots could be displaced and the Delta pilots would take the spots at Compass. Am i reading this correctly?
