Headset
Anybody have a headset that really like for the M88 that would also be ok on the 73N. I have an ANR that is old and needs to be rebuilt and I'm considering just buying a new one instead of paying to rebuild old technology. Thanks

Leine,
Let me just segue this by saying that I am not a DPA supporter and can't see myself backing the group in the near future. My gripes with ALPA are just that, with ALPA and in no way translates into support for DPA. It's tiresome to hear when a criticism is made against ALPA it is assumed that the person making the critque is throwing their support behind DPA.

You draw a distinction between ALPA National and our MEC, but I consider them one in the same as it seems the direction/influence of ALPA National is echoed through our MEC and trickled down to our LECs. While I realize administratively the MEC and National leadership structures differ, I still find the relationship tightly woven.
You'll notice a change in the communication that's coming out since KR took over - and while you probably won't see the contract survey results anytime soon, there is a strong push from the very top of the Delta MEC to be more inclusive and transparent. The PUB program is a perfect example of this. Even in this "downtime" your MEC is going out on the road frequently and has visited every single base, to collect your feedback. I'm confident that capn's experience at the PUB was an outlier, and not the norm. It may have been 1 ALPA guy having a bad day - we're human.
The perception (to me at least) is National passes down it's influence to the MECs who in turn pass down the guidance to the LECs who must then get the pilot group on board. I feel that this process is completely backwards and it has evolved into this because their is an assumption that majority of pilots are selfishly out for themselves and incapable of deciding the appropriate direction for this profession.
I have always been impressed with the knowledge, expertise, and feedback that I have gotten from the Reps I have interacted with, but I still can't help to ignore the MEC direction/guidance that the LECs are left to defend and justify. I'd like to see the tone change with ALPA.
Not trying to attack you or anything here, just offering up this junior guy's opinion.

Take her to see Planes ... relief for you and her.
Tangled is, BTW, my favorite Disney / Pixar collaboration. 140,000 strands of hair and something like 174,000 frames. Someone drew something like 25,200,000,000 strands of hair. They had to develop their own physics engine to make it flow properly. When you understand the tech behind that cartoon, it's pretty jaw dropping.

I loved all the little detail items - like the controllers voice coming into JFK (sounded like JFK), getting cleared for the Canarsie Visual, etc.

Eating dinner is a little difficult, but that's such a rarity on either of those airplanes that it's not going to be much of a problem. Captains don't screw with you either, when they call for Pre Flight Checklist and see this staring back at them ....

ie = The 737 is considerably louder.
Plain old Telex 750 or something similar would be fine on the Mad Dog but you might prefer noise reduction on the 737.

I'll have to look that up. They hit a home run with that movie and Cars. I still think Planes was too glum. No Mater, no Maximus. I mean it's good, I enjoyed it, it wasn't Wall-E that had you wanting to slit your wrist.
They should have tried something with a better story line. Say, anyone up for a love story on stockholm syndrome...
or how about Hamlet, with animals...
