I spent the last month writing an FCR on every flight about the 737 noise. I stated how noisy it was and how a hot mike solution needed to be implemented. I received a phone call from the chief pilot telling me that Atlanta heard me and I should stop writing. To Atlanta I ended up highlighting my self more than the problem. I tried to explain how this was a 737 problem as Southwest and American have a solution to this problem. The solution that we are banned from using.
I then called the 737 Fleet Manager and spoke with him. He stated that they had just finished a noise study and it was inclusive. He was disappointed but was continuing to fight this problem. He told me that if nothing changed in the next few months I should write another FCR. But not on every flight.
If we don't complain and write it up it's not going to get fixed.

At Alaska they used the rubber band method for a few years. Mngt then changed the audio panels to one that had a locking 'mic' switch. I don't know why we can't get our new jets to have the locking mic switch. Run that up the Chain of Command and see what they say.

Thank you very much for doing this. I have sent in FCRs about this before as well. The noise level is completely unexceptable. Most guys I fly with have been on the airplane 10+ years and the amount of hearing loss they have is staggering. Pretty sad when there are simple fixes to prevent this.

What happens when we get a new tablet as far as "validation?"
Are they going to put paper pubs back in every airplane? Will we need to carry two tablets?
Another issue we wouldn't have with an iPad.

Better get used to it.
After only 6 months, I've almost figured out how to use my tablet! As soon as I do figure it out, I'm sure they will give us the next version and I'll have to learn it all over again!

Purple, while I agree with your wanting an iPad, do you realize that Microsoft is our biggest corporate client? They are buying millions of dollars worth of tickets on Delta. They are the reason we are growing in SEA. As long as that is the case, we will never have a tablet that doesn't say Microsoft on it.

Just curious as I am not an Apple person, why would we have to learn it all over again or carry two tablets? Apple hasn't come out with new hardware or new IOS since the original Ipad?

Saw this on Reddit today. An employer that required a sick note from a doctor, got this note from the doctor....
