Pilot Online - great story! Just a quicky, however: on all the GA aircraft I've flown, the only mic which is active is the one for which the PTT's been pushed, so pax chatter should not go out. There are probably installations which are not wired in this manner, but with the vast majority of spamcans, you should find that this is the system (in fact, Geng the Eng will probably be able to quote somewhere in the regs where the CAA specify that this is a requirement!).
