Has anyone had any luck getting a Telex 850 repaired? I think the Headset Dr in ATL doesn't fix things anymore, no idea where to go.

ALPA was a part of the decision process?
So ALPA decided to not recall pilots when there was an option on the table to do so?
Why wouldn't you (since apparently you had a seat at the table) let guys come back in hopes that the company might not need to re-furlough him? If he was back and trained, it might have been to costly for the company to send him out again, and he might have been able to stay. If even one guy had a chance to stay, why not try?
I can't believe how cavalierly you state that "you" made a decision to leave guys on the street when "you" could have brought them back.

Its been a few years but I sent mine back to telex, after I broke them by the ear cup on the boom side. And I think for around $100 they were fixed and overhauled. With a quick turn around as well.

I sent a 3 year old 850 into Telex a couple years ago and they fixed it and completely refurbished it at no charge. Worth a call at least.

Seeing as the staffing was short for the summer to begin with and hiring was planned to start this late fall, any recall pilots could surely have not been re-furloughed. You'd be talking about furloughing less than 3 months.

Can someone explain this to me: I have a taxable amount of $44.03 on my paycheck for Delta provided life insurance ($500k, I believe). Now while I like the idea of getting "free" life insurance, a taxable amount of $88 a month seems pretty high. A 45 year old can lock in a $500k term policy for 20 years at about $25 a month (which would then take him out to age 65). Gotta wonder why the $88/mo value being placed on this benefit. What am I missing?
You're missing the big one that will be added to your check when Obomacare is in full swing. We are gonna get e nice "payraise" as far as the IRS is concerned, but nothing that you will be able to go out and spend. It's called imputed income. Check back when the "ACA" is implemented and tell me I am wrong......

Just had mine fixed May 2013. Came back looking BRAND NEW--I had to double-check to make sure it wasn't a new headset. Working fine 3 months later. Microphone went out; they fixed that plus new cords,new ear pads, acoustic cloth, new mic cover. Cleaned everything after years of MD88 blood, sweat and tears buildup. I'm really happy; total cost $170 plus shipping there (shipping included back to me).
No, I'm not a spokesperson; just pleased with the final result.

Look them up on the web. Sorry, I don't have the web address available. Call and get a return ID number and they'll explain the process.
Hope this helps.
