It is not. In my outfit we have recently had a com loss for several minutes. The crew interviewed declared that they had turned down the COM 2 volume because of the amount of garbage they had to listen to. They did actually miss several comms on COM1 as they were briefing and unfamiliar with the callsign they were using that day (wet lease ops). Bottom point is : people make mistakes, we all do, the 121.5 is the last safety net before You need to have a private airshow from a Typhoon or whatever fighter is used in Your backyard.
