Does anyone have a link to the 3D printed intercom tool that a Southwest pilot made? I know they're on eBay and you have to put in a weird search for it, but I can't seem to find it. I have one (a gift), but I'd like to order a couple of backups.

I know I can use stir sticks or rubber bands, but this thing is nicer.

What exactly does it do? Hold the intercom line open?

Cpt PA...Is that you?

Pretty much. On the 737 you have to hold the switch to talk to the other guy unless you bring a rubber band.

POS.........

Isnt that how that SWA CA accidently did his famous rant over center on the characteristics of his FAs. He was holding down the R/T switch instead of the I/C switch.

...and it’s only on some of the fleet.

Why do we need any of those things now that the 300s are gone? Every airplane now has the ability to keep the intercom open without them.

What am I missing?

At SWA, maybe that's the case. At other airlines, it is not.

Do you mean to say Southwest is--gasp--"Industry Leading!"?

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