LOL. Nailed It.
All the pilots flying with the Telex 850 on the A 320 family will acknowledge that when the guy on the other side has his loudspeaker opened , it creates very annoying interference making the communication more difficult and therefore more prone to misunderstanding. Our company provides individual headset to the crew. So we all have the same ANR headset and I don't know anyone who can do the radio peacefully when I keep my loudspeaker opened. Out of the blue, I'm amazed that some airlines don't provide any headset to their crew and they must use the headset from the aircraft. Sounds very hygienic. xD
