I use a single-ear Plantronics MS-50 with a custom ear mold. The 767-300Fs have built-in ANR headsets with hot mics, but everything else is BYOH or the community Telex 750s (no ANR). The tuna cans (loud) and passenger jets (quiet) don't have hot mics that stay open, so nobody really uses them; we just yell at each other.

It is pretty uncommon to see anyone else with my headset style at this company, for some reason. Most use the community headsets. Bring sani-wipes.

I use a Telex 850 I've had for a long time. Telex (owned by Bosch) replaced.rebuilt it for me when it broke after 6+ years of hard work. The -200s are pretty loud. The -300s are not too bad. Almost nobody uses the interphone it seems.

Works fine. It just uses GCI service.

Quote: Spoke with the folks at uflymike, they mentioned that many atlas pilots are requesting the cord to be a foot longer, 6.5' vs the standard 5.5'. Is this specific to the 74?
An extra foot would be nice in the right seat due to the headset only being usable on the left side of the face, but it is definitely not needed. You just need to learn how to route the cable behind your right shoulder. This is on the 74. No idea about the 76.

I'd find it most useful sitting third seat. Wearing the headset and reaching for the manuals behind the Capt seat, or reaching the right radio to send the departure message always sees me running out of slack. Again, 74 only, no idea about the 76.

Thanks for the info, I'll order the longer cord

I believe a 747 class started today- is the next 747 class still expected in February? I'm waiting in the pool.

I start 76 class on dec 7. Has anyone found out hotel info for where they are staying? I've got flight info and cbt login but no travel arrangements yet. Also does anyone know how long 767 training footprint is running these days? I have my brothers wedding in April so I'm hoping I'll be cut loose by then. Thanks!
