headset/legacies

[whatitdoing?]

I prefer the David Clarks 10.4's. Sure, the Captains look at me weird, but I like them. I also use a notepad with velcro around my leg to write my clearances.....................

At CAL (on the 737, don't know about the rest of the fleet), the headsets are in the airplane and the company provides us with the earplug. You don't need to buy a headset. It works fine for me and I flew turboprops for years.

There are some planes you don't need it, though. The 717 doesn't have a hot mic system that feeds into the CVR, so technically, I don't think we have to use the boom mic according to the regs.

What does the Elton John FOM/AFM say?

Telex 850. A good degree of ANR but needs no batteries.

Notice that I said "according to the regs." The FOM still requires it, if I remember right, but who listens to that thing anyway? Now, go find a headset adapter for your french airplane.
