Cool. Mesa is giving airline pilots a general aviation headset.

It's not just a GA headset, but I bet it has better clarity than the Telex 850.

My dentist used a Bose A20 when he flies his Bonanza on weekends.

How many professional airline pilots have you seen use a Bose headset? Maybe 3 or 4 out of 20,000?

I use one, but it’s the older X model. Several of my CAs used the X, A20 or one of the Uflymike combos.

The A20 may be overkill for most jet cockpits, but it’s a fine piece of equipment nonetheless. I wouldn’t be too upset if I got one for free. The only drawbacks I can think of are having to change batteries and it might be uncomfortable for some after 2+ hours.

DoNoHarm is just a PSA troll who wishes he had gone to Envoy. Instead, he is stuck on a CRJ200 and thinks he is cool being a troll.

Hehehe. To further elaborate, a lot of airline pilots are cheapskates and will never plunk down $1k on a headset. Some guys even use the company supplied DCs :D

Wait, you don't actually think we are only a 200 operator do you?
