I wouldn't plan on having a FA on a 680. Not a whole lot or room to work or sit.

C-130 A model with three bladed props and no synchrophasers. It's why I wear hearing aids today (that and guns and rock 'n roll).

How is the cockpit on the A220 when it comes to noise? I would love to one day be on an aircraft that I can take the headset off in cruise.

Dream big. Heard the A380 is quiet. Negative is that they’ll all be in the desert by the time you are ready to fly it.

The A320 series is usually flown "hats off" in cruise (SOP permitting). A few folks will wear earplugs with the headsets off, but it's really pretty quiet up in the FL's.

never flown it, but over on the DAL forum they are saying hats off does not work well on the 220 because the speaker is not is a great place to hear well.

DAL pilots never fly with hats off.
