Atlas Air Hiring
I have a AA friend that I flew with at K4. He had flown the 9, MD80, 727, 737, 747 and 744. He said the 74 was the loudest airplane other than the 727 at higher mach's that he had ever flown.

Really dude.....I was just trying to figure out If previous classes were able to go home for Christmas. But thank you so so much for clarifying the intricacies of positive space travel at Atlas.

One absolutely needs a good headset in this job for all kinds of reasons.

Sound well worth it than. Was praying I wouldn't have to buy another headset again. Looks like I've got something for the XMAS list at least.
The sad thing is that most of our senior guys who need it the most, sit there with one ear cup of their $1000 Bose off their ear doing them no good at all.
You absolutely need to wear hearing protection on the 74. I wear ear plugs and use a Telex 850. Once you damage your hearing, you NEVER get it back!

Mach 1 light speed molded ear pieces for the last ten years. Prior to that was Bose 1, 1+,2's and 10's all great to keep you hearing.

I think that it is past time to label this the safety and health issue that it is. Locking interphone switches on the entire fleet, not just the -8. And everyone uses them.
