Hey Skyjob , you would be surprised at what is standard ! Take nothing for granted , "standard" is for the operator to determine . The LoCo add a new dimension . It's not powered in the Airbus' I currently operate .
Manicured garden , maybe you didn't take note of Mr. G's post . He asked about a headset for , surprise , surprise ..ATC comms , not for the use of your ubiquitous Ipad/Pod/Phone for music . If your flights are so boring , may I suggest base jumping or cliff climbing where you are only responsible for yourself .
Maybe you could also suggest to your regulatory body/Flt Ops Management the annoyance that a good headset may interfere with your ability to listen to your music !
