ANR headsets for all SWA pilots

[1080P]

Great job SWA!

I just hope it's not a full time hot mic.

Y'all know how loud those 4 digit guys snore

Or how loud they chew their food when they eat,
or how loud they chew their gum,
or how loud they breathe.

huh??

Xzactly......
Coming from a turbo shaker to the 73 is like stepping out of a rock concert into a church while everyone is praying.
But that may be cause I'm partially deaf already.......:erm:

It's just refreshing to see a company and their pilots generally pull in the same direction. I know SWA ain't no Disney Land but it's pretty damn close! (BTW-Disney Land raised their prices to $75 bucks a day this year.)
This Hatfield and Mckoy bull$hit on our property is so high school it's already getting old after just a few months... maybe the imminent furlough won't be such a bad thing for me. I'll be able to call myself a real airline pilot for 2 reasons..... I've been furloughed and I lost my retirement funds (by paying the mortgage with my 401k until that secret computer in the SWA PD spits my name out). If JV is a disgruntled SWA pilot could someone get him to just call in dead next time instead of sick? Maybe just one more guy could have the opportunity to get the call.

PS: Sorry for the rambling vent, my therapist says it's good to get it all out. It'll eventually get me over my fear of flying....

Can't find it anywhere, what's an ANR? I can find Bose, david clark, and plane tronics. This thing might be fancy!

There are 3 types of "noise canceling" headsets:

Active Noise Reduction (ANR), Passive, and In-the-ear

I don't think they've specified the brand(s) yet.

My bad, I did not pour on the sarcasm thick enough. The $80 I spent in training for the $.05 worth of wax they stuck in my ear is a travesty. I use the "ear d!ck" now, and will skip passive to get the good stuff (ANR.)

JV what is this sick out on June 1st you talk about? I havent heard a thing about one. Heck I worked the 1st.

I worked on June 1st also....at time and a half...

JV...what are you really talking about? there wasn't any "Sick out" that I heard of...

lol...my bad for missing it.

As long as I can pump my Iron Eagle soundtrack through it, I'll be happy.

JohnnyV is talking about is a couple guys on Pprune who were spun up on the QC2/Uflymike issue that went into effect on June 1st. They were talking about calling in sick on June 1st or their first trip after the first, to pay for a new headset.

As far as I can tell, it surely went unnoticed. Not much of a following, if any.

Telex 850's would save the cost of bateries.

OTOH, isn't there a way to hardwire some of the GA ANR's into the panel?

I think that was the real problem with the U-Fly Mike headset. The rumor mill suggests that a lot of guys were cranking their ipods during flight...

Since 1986 I've wanted to take a C-152 over "Devil's Face." That was a serious oil leak too. Chappy and Col. Masters saved the world!

Bob, radio shack sells an ipod adapter for $15 with the dual plug so to blame ipod listening on UflyMike is foolish. The adapter works well.... so I've heard.
