I'm senior to you, but wasn't implying that I expect to be displaced. I just think at some point I'll bail off to a fleet that allows me to hold a line. But I'm not certain. I just want a product that's flexible, so I can use it on different fleets.

Sorry for the scare.

Thanks for the feedback Leine. I'm thinking about an in ear headset for that very reason.

No intercom - it's pretty quiet up front in the -88 & -90.

until a window doesn't seal.

I'd still much prefer an rj style intercom any day over the one ear on and one ear off system we use on the MDs and Boeing's. But hey, it's how they did it in the 50s so by golly that's how we ought to do it in 2013.

We used the intercom in the deafening C-5. I kept trying to use it in the 88 sims. I didn't like the ear off method either.

Well if there's any wonder on why we still have the 737 cockpit and no hot mics:

Back when we had the Headset Dr. in ATL, I had him disconnect the audio on the right side of my headset. That way I only hear the audio in my left ear and I don't have to wear the headset with the right side behind the ear. I find it more comfortable to wear the headset the way it was intended to be worn.

Not sure if you could find anyone to do this for you now. I think on the Telex 750's, you could just cut the wire on the side you want to disconnect. But on my Plantronics headset, I think the Headset Dr. had to do something special (some extra part he had to install?) to do this without killing the audio in both sides. If I ever have to get another one, I may be out of luck on getting this done again.
