For all that is holy, don't tell SWA Flt Ops that!

Most of our airplanes have a latching intercom switch. Some of our older ones do not. Some are being retrofitted, but I don't think they're doing the ones that will be parked before too long.

So judging by the replies I'm getting, I'm going to go with the answer being "no".

Gotcha! I automatically assumed we were talking about Southwest's fleet. My bad!

No worries. I mentioned Southwest in my original post, so I'm sure that added to the confusion.

EMB,

The rubber bands work best. It's not some "tool" you must remember to grab after every flight. AND if your jet doesn't have a rubber band, you can add yours and then leave it for the next guy.

If you send me your address, I'll be happy to send you 20 rubber bands for free.
