Just in time for their newest 320 delivery "Blue Outta Compton"

Something tells me jetBlue wouldn’t accidentally paint an airplane “Blue Lives Matter”

Capt A-hole today who berates me today for going “hot mike” and insisting on NOT using the intercom during critical phases of flight starting with the taxi at a foreign airport.
You Sir, are the Tool of the Day.
Thank the sky gods you only have one year till retirement.

Retirement should be a sliding scale.
If you’re an a-hole 55 and if you’re a cool dude 75.
Average be 65.

I just keep using it. He can get mad all he wants.

Berating for that. What airline you fly for? I don’t put up with that anymore. Drives me nuts.

Wow. That's exactly when I'd think you'd WANT to be on hot mike. Those are the times when clear crew communication are critical. This sounds like a call to ProStans is in order.

That little $2.50 switch is the best and sometimes the most item on the 60+ million dollar jet I fly.:) Sounds like the chap you flew has people skills issues.:mad:

Did he have a crappy headset?
Rare to see 737 guys without a DC or Bose in right seat, still a few even with just boom mic and ear piece. Seems I remember someone saying it sounded funny.
Like most, I prefer IC with my DCPro.

Trying to understand what he's complaining about here. When you say "hot mike" do you mean a true hot mike when your mike is continuously open, or voice activated, which many (including my company's checklists) refer to as "hot mike"?



And if he's insisting on not using the intercom, how are you communicating? Just shouting at each other?
