Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

So, every mid rank officer in the US military, and a few high rank ones.

Unless it's changed, again, the AOM used to say the PF should be the one programming the box.

I may have missed yet another change to how we operate the airplanes though.

The airplanes are noisy and fatiguing. Lots of missed calls even with the loud speaker blaring which further compounds the problem. TOPLESS!! is the dumbest thing done here but its an easy fix. Simply state that'll you'll wear your headset up until 'X' and if the other decides to go TOPLESS then to please speak up.

I will add that more and more pilots are showing up with active noise cancelling headsets.

I hate the ship headsets but I don’t want to buy a fancy set or wear one the entire flight. I have no problem hearing radio calls on the speaker. Most missed radio calls happen when folks are running their mouths. If people would just shut up and enjoy the view they would hear the radio just fine. This plane is not loud.

^^^bingo. Rarely miss a call.. plane is quiet. 727 did my ears in 20 yrs ago and I still don’t miss calls.

All I need is to lug around another piece of crap on the road... forget it!

You haven’t flown on a quiet plane then.

Feel like I don't know what's right anymore. Different Captains are under different impressions. Still just doing the chameleon thing. Oh, sorry, must have missed that read file. Last time I read it, even the AOM seemed ambiguous, something like "PF (or CA) does this, PM (or FO) does that, unless Captain discretion." It didn't help that the whole thing kept flip flopping last year when a bunch of new hire classes went through.

As far as ship headsets, definitely my least favorite part of Spirit. Can't hear much on them. Sometimes even with the volume maxed out. But hey, need to have something to complain about.

Couldn't find it in the thread so thought I'd revisit the subject.

Seems like headsets are pretty much off at FL180 here. That being said, is a TSO headset required? Will it be required during sims?

I’ve never seen headsets used in a sim.
