I find the thread's diversity interesting...

An Oregon man who was flying home from the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport pleaded with a Delta Airlines flight attendant about the "extreme discomfort" he was enduring because of a loud noise during the nearly four-hour flight.

Flight staff didn't offer him ear plugs or offer to turn the plane around or make an early, unscheduled landing before reaching Portland International Airport, according to Kent J. Neilson's $2 million lawsuit filed Friday in Multnomah County Circuit Court.


Neilson temporarily lost hearing in one ear, and today suffers permanent hearing loss in both ears, according to his suit. The suit also claims he has "disabling and severely aggravating" tinnitus in both ears.


An airline spokesperson couldn't immediately be reached for comment. Neither could Neilson's Portland attorneys, Robert B. Hopkins and Matthew K. Clarke.


The complaint describes Neilson only as an Oregon man. It alleges that the noise during the April 28, 2010 flight was loudest in the area around his exit row seat, 10B. The suit alleges that as the flight neared landing, a flight attendant told Neilson that other passengers had complained about the noise on a previous flight.
So from the looks of it, 10B is the exit row on a A320. How is an A320 that loud?

He needs to hop a flight out of SLC on a...

Is that FO you or a certain notorious female? Funny stories about that one. One guy telling me the story truly looked scarred from the experience. He said he had his mouth open and everything

I've heard of those stories, not me, but you know it's me when I open all the vents despite it being cold.

Sinca meant to say "Except for NYC because it's well, just different. Every other base is, or should be stovepiped, especially the ATL."

Theres a hydraulic pump that knocks when the PTU kicks on but it shouldn't have been on long and or on in the air so who knows. As far as the cabin noise in flight I've found it to be one of the more quiet rides. Maybe it was a USC fan sitting next to him being obnoxious about the Oregon game....;-)
