The world has indeed become a mess Cpt.
I for one only apply the rules I see useful.
121.5 I dont bother with anymore. Only when its been quiet and approaching an FIR border. And when fare from shore.
I do see my FOs listening to it and missing calls and getting distracted.
Until they string one up and shut them up , I could not be bothered listening in.
And I never do PLOC.
