Fashion and finance.

Not exactly strong points of most airline pilots.

No offense. I suck at both.

I like the Clarity Aloft for headset. Bose is too rich for my blood

I use the company provided headset and I actually like it. I am a former Bose user and I don’t like the weight of the Bose although their noise reduction is amazing.
The company Telex is a good compromise and the price is right.
I hear the company is trying to get out of the headset business and may provide a stipend of some sort in the future.

I’m debating the David Clark pro x, lightweight but affordable

There is a sweater but you can't wear it beyond the jetway. I do use the sweater in the dead of winter but it means grabbing your jacket if you want to run into the terminal.

So hotel options right now is Hilton Anatole and Marriott correct?
Hope in the Hilton, being a diamond member those extra perks help!!!
