Airbus Headsets
 

For the Airbus pilots:

Do you recommend using the headsets in the plane or bringing your own? If you bring your own, where did you get the adapter?

Thanks in advance.

I got the Bose QC-25 with the Ufly-Mike set up. Works very well.

Google either airbus adapter or XLR-5 adapter. Plenty out there. I carried my own headset on the 190 but use the ship-set on the bus. It’s quiet enough in the cockpit, and headsets are off at 18 thousand. I also have QC35s with the nflightmic but haven’t used it lately.

Use the ship set?

Yuck! Literally.

As a new hire, I'm not sure what you can afford. But until you can spend between $200 (Telex 750) and $400 (A8 ANR) bring some disinfectant wipes for the mic cover and the ear covers.

Yuck!

Have you seen our pilots? We had one fired for buying something on the street corner from a guy who knows a guy for some skank he wanted to play with and then 5 minutes later you are swapping seats and wearing this person gear!

No way.

I got a somewhat cheap telex 850 on eBay and then amazon for the UFQ adapter. It works fine in the bus for me and it’s comfortable. But then again I wouldn’t know cause I’m going deaf anyway.

Lol so true. I was inclined to get the telex 850 or the DC's but that would require me to carry around 2 headsets since I commute. I can use the Bose in the back and when I am working I just attach the mic. Nice setup.

Put a few young kids through daycare and you’ll never worry about germs again.

There's worrying about germs and then theres literally having your mouth on an object that thousands of other dudes have had theirs on (phrasing?).

I've never used a shipset in any A/C I've flown because it's disgusting. It's one thing to have to grab levers, control wheels/push buttons, but having a mic up to you lips that other guys just coughed,sneezed or did whatever on is beyond gross.

QC35 paired with the Nflightmic. Love the setup! Super quiet and clean. You can get the Nflightmic with the airbus cord.

Tex

Fired for what?

Yeah I thought the ship-set would be rather unsanitary.

Most guys use the ship set. If you do use your own headset, make sure you plug in the ship set again after you are done!

That's a Bingo.

Bose QC25 and UFlyMike.

Or don’t. I bring my own and I neatly wind up the ship set and leave it unplugged in the cubbie next the plug. Do your own receiving checks.

Classic TMAAT reflex response. You may have a future on an interview or recruitment team.

I keed ... I keed.

But not really!

A-hole move. Even as a guy who brought my own for a while, and occasionally still do, I get pi$$ed when guys are too lazy to leave the plane how you found it (or how it’s supposed to be).

Seat forward, vents open, shades up, headsets plugged in, trash removed. Surprised your captains don’t say anything to you about it.

It must be great flying a 5 day with you. Do Tell more..

A$$ ............

Who da f$&k flys five days?!

I am diligent about keeping my work area clean and tidy. I just don’t see the need to unfurl the ship set and plug it back in after I neatly and professionally stow it. If the next guy needs it he will set it up or his own set as he sees fit.

What’s the captain gonna say, plug your headsets back in? I have no problem if he wants to do it but I won’t be. My job is the fcom, fom and that blue employee book thing. Plugging the ship set back in isn’t outlined in either of those, is it?

Even sharing a hotel shuttle with you sounds amazing

All correct except shades down day or night, winter and summer. Straight from the training center in Toulouse.

Makes sense why you are so salty. Enjoy those 5 day trips......suckaaaa

It comes from common courtesy. You use it you put it back where you found it. You unplugged it, you plug it back it. Simple stuff we all were taught in kindergarten.

Zulu is the person at the gym who leaves his dumbbells laying all over the floor because “I pay $35 dollars a month for the employees to clean it up.”

We will just have to agree to disagree. What about the guys who bring their own? Why do the guys who use the crusty ship set have to have theirs all set up. Why can’t everyone just wrap them up and leave them in the cubby by the plug? BFD right?

Absolutely incorrect. I would never do that. Besides I only do 90m bikram yoga classes. Need to stay lean and limber for the bus.

Because the headset is a part of the airplane. No different than any other part. The trainers at the factory train as James pointed out: seats forward, trash removed, vents open, headsets plugged in and hung on their respective hooks, shades down and if chocked, parking brake off.

He’s more like the type who puts a bunch of 45 lb plates on the leg press machine and then leaves them on there for the 100 lb girl who uses it next to remove before doing her workout.

Zulu, when you leave someone’s house, do you just leave the door open? If the person wants the door shut, they can just close it themself.

Not sure if It’s being selfish or just lazy. Either way, it’s all about you, so no one here will change your mind.

I don’t work for airbus I work for JetBlue and follow what our training department has taught. I have never once seen someone leave the parking brake off at the gate while chocked.

Of course not but if I got to someone’s house I also don’t wash the plate and put it back on the table the way it was served to me. I put it in the sink or rinse it and place it in the dishwasher.

Hilarious how guys get so bent out of shape about the head sets being set back up. Get over yourselves. It’s not like I am arguing that they should be placed in the gear pin locker. You need to build your nest and check everything out anyway. Who is really being lazy? Too lazy to unwrap the cord and plug in the set if you need it? Jeez.

I really don’t care if you plug it in or not. I’m more annoyed by the mentality of, “I unplugged it, but someone else can plug it back in. It’s their problem since they don’t bring their own like I do.” These days, it seems like most people are only concerned with themselves.

If 50ish percent (or more) of our guys brought their own headset, then sure, leave it unplugged. Of the guys I fly with, 90-95% use the aircraft headset. It’s WAY more likely that they’ll need to plug it back in, so I personally would plug it back in, especially if I unplugged it. It’s common courtesy. That’s my opinion and I’m done with this conversation. I probably won’t give it another thought... unless I fly after you I guess.

You’ll know once you find the headset unplugged and the particular smell left behind https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b86c5ac2e6.jpg

It’s sad the group has guys like this, this is so annoying.

I haven't either.

And..

You're so full of it. If the Captain tells you to plug the ship set back in you'll do it without hesitation. Stop lyin!

The training department has never taught to check the status of the headset. If someone did it was only technique as it’s not in the fcom. If you follow the fcom verbatim the first instance on a typical day an FO would notice a headset unplugged would be either calling for route clearance or push.

The parking brake preference is aimed more at heavies as they heat up more and cool much better with the parking brake off. Also zero chance to get the brakes to lock up on you with them off. I’ve seen it and it’s not a fun time for MX.

Surprised you’ve never heard that before referring to you. And nah, not a millennial champ

That’s funny. I would never tell an fo anything like that. They are adults and can take care of their own crap.

I have flown behind you before. Definitely a anal nozzle move.

Plug the effin' headset back in if you unplug it. It REALLY is that simple to respect your fellow pilots who have to scoot the seat back and stand up to reconnect the airplane headset after the CA calls for push. You disconnected it, YOU should put it back. Leave the cockpit as you found it, or better. Anything less is uncivilized.
