United Transmissions

[densoo]

Dear UAL pilots,

Please get your management to supply you with a headset with a microphone that cancels out the background noise. Almost all the UAL transmissions are painful to hear. If UAL pilot transmits for more than a few seconds it necessitates turning down the volume so as to reduce the pain. Maybe get something with one of the sponge looking things to cover the microphone to cut out all the hissing and background air noise.

Thank you.

Dear All Other Pilots,

We fly planes? In which of our two departments--IT or legal?

I love the whole low-T crowd and their ridiculously expensive ear-molded mega-noise canceling mic/headset BS arrangements. Put the $400 headset back in your murse and use a real headset.

Ok, David Clark d bag.

I'm more bothered by the guys who don't use mic-muffs. Hard to understand when all you hear are P's and T's.

That's a us air thing, they take the muffs off then stick the Mic all the way in their mouths it seems.

I don't think I've ever even seen a muff here at airways.

But that's because the FAs are so old.

Ok, serious question-

Big Bose, or QC15/uflymike?

Anyone use the new David clark pro x?

The United transmission are by far the worst. Sounds like no headset, hand mike in a loud plane. Horrible. Sometimes ATC can't even understand them.

Delta comes in a distant second with 'Delta's 123'.

That's because we don't use headsets like you guys. The 73 is not that loud, you guys are sporting Bose like its a 172. I'll keep my ear piece and keep using the hand mike, and keep the cash in my bank account.

Clearly a slow news week if this is the conversation.

But yes, sig, the 73 is cramped and loud - I'll save what hearing I have left and add to the Bose coffers
