Pinnacle requires a TSOd headset as per our Flight Ops manual.
Colgan did not require one, so I got a nonTSO uflymike. I wasn't about to get a whole new one once I transferred over to the other operaton, and now nearly 3 years after moving over to 9E I have't had a problem yet. I've had dih inspectors before and they don't seem to care

9E does Not provide heasets. THey do have observer headsets though. The observer headsets in ll of our ac were Telex 750s... For some reason, somebody it was a great idea to replace all of those 750s with some crappy abomination that a pre-private student would show up holding. They were coing through the fleet one day in DTW collecting all the 750s to literally throw away. I may or may not have rescued a few from live as dumpster filler.

Just tell anyone asking its for hearing protection, and you don't plug it in.

FWIW I've had two Feds on the Jumpseat use a Uflymike without fancy stickers, just like mine. None of us said anything.
Now that I'm back on probation I sent the rig in for its sticker upgrade. Mine was an older model that the website says can't be TSO'd, but after emailing found they can upgrade it by changing a circuit board for an extra $13.

I will put it on here on a public message board that I violate my companys FAA approved Flight Manual Part 1 which stipulates that you may not have ANY items protruding from your pockets. Like so many other pilots, I usually have a pen or two. I also do not wear the company approved jacket - just a near identical one that all our CPs have not even recognized. I am fully aware of this and continue to do it.
