Given the age of the A320, I thought the aircraft would not have microphone auto select on their masks. Our older 37's did not. And M, no offence taken.

Do the older 737s have auto switching? I only ask this because the classic 747 did not. Let's not jump to conclusions just yet, even though "VA" is a standard abbreviation for "Virtual Airlines" amongst flight simmers
VA is also a standard abbreviation for an American state and former colony, NSEU, but I suppose with you being from another former colony far, far away, the thought hadn't occurred to you.
