YMMV.

Thanks. I'll check those out.

Since I live in Colorad Springs, I just went to their office. They did it on the spot for $85 no tax and obviously no shipping. I already had the QC15s with the uflymike. I think it's the QC25s that aren't ready yet.

Even when both pilots have a headset I tend to fly the approach with one earcup pulled back because I like to hear the engines a bit. That and I know it's time to flare when I hear the FO suck in his/her breath, which is vital because I can't figure out how to land this POS uberguppy. :)

Ok...so UA does have an interphone (I should have originally used the term "intercom") thx for clarifying.

Yes, but the three position switch is spring loaded to return to the off position. So to use it what you do is wrap a rubber band around the switch, and tie it to the handle bar just aft of the switch so that it holds it in the hot position.
Works great and if you have the right size rubber band you can push the switch back to the off position and it will stay there. This is good for longer periods of time without talking, or eating. You just need a rubber band strong enough to hold it in the "I/C" position but not strong enough where is pulls it out of the off position on its own.

Indeed sorry... I didn't realize you had the previous model. The QC25's are about 6 months out, and they don't have any more QC15's I was told

Ha! I just went in 1984. Rush, Ozzy, 38 Special, Gary Moore, and Brian Adams.

I was there that year! Did you see me?

Geddy Lee from Rush sang Temples of Syrinx in a normal voice? What was up with that?

No worries. She said the new mike for the QC25 was going to be much better: thinner more flexible cord, rotating boom, etc.

You obviously have a better memory than I. I was sitting here yesterday trying to remember Ozzy. I had totally forgotten he even played the Jam. Are you a UAL newhire? If so, what fleet?
