whitelighter that's a point if the headset is u/s. Otherwise is there any reason why the (wo)man trusted to fly the thing is not trusted to correctly hear a pushback clearence and relay same to the groundcrew? What next, carry a baggage handler in the jumpseat to verify the take-off clearence was heard correctly?
Smacks of another manifestation of pointless health and safety nonsense, regrettably epidemic in the UK.
