Wear your accouterments and I won't. Easy peasy.
Take care
If fatty co-pilot stuffs cheese burgers into his pie-hole and clogs up the arteries, that his choice.
If leather skinned co-pilot doesn't lather up and gets skin cancer, that's his fault.
The difference about the headsets, and I think the main reason people are digging their feet in, is when you the captain make the FO take his ear piece off, you the Captain are now the root cause of said FO being exposed to unsafe noise levels against their will, thus contributing to the hearing loss, tinnitus, etc.
I think most folks here don't take kindly to actual physical damage being inflicted on them that could have been prevented, or at least minimized through use of a headset, ANR or otherwise.
