A little bird told me something like that was already in the works.

For me the best solution in the 737 is the Bose X with a "rubberband" fix. If the Capt. isn't up for using the rubberband and I have to have the earcup half off the left ear then I would rather use my molded earpiece that I also carry w/ me.

But when using the X the cockpit is as quiet as I would ever want it. Great piece of equipment. However - on long flights the Bose X can start to give a little "head clamp" much like the old David Clarks did. And don't forget the "bad hair day" factor. LOL. The QC2 w/ UFM feels much lighter and I would imagine more comfortable on long flights.

The best fix of all would be Boeing to fix their junks intercom system.

Baja.

Each carrier orders the avionics configuration they want to pay for. SWA could have hot mic, but we didn't pay for it. :angryfire
