you need to get into one of the standup citations, (650,excell,ect) much quieter.

I've logged many hours on the Mad Dog jumpseat (thanks AA and AK crews) and I'm always shocked at how quiet it is. I'd say much quieter than the the 777.
The 747-400 is really noisy too, but who cares when you're doing .92 on the get home leg

I keep telling the CFO that we need a 680, but so far to no avail. <sigh> Wouldn't mind the head room (or having a flight attendant)...
