Thats only in the last few years. When I was on it in 2016 it was about 50/50 of the jets that had it.

They do with a rubber band just like the 737 used to be.

You will get use to the no intercom in your first 100 hours

I'm bidding an aircraft based on a number of factors and I like to make an educated decision, so yes.

People have been avoiding Boeings for decades because they have a yoke instead of a stick. You're surprised at this?

I have a preexisting hearing loss. I can't hear **** in flight without my noise cancelling headphones on. If I take them off, I have to turn up the volume so loud to hear ATC over the wind noise that the speakers distort and I can't understand what they're saying anyways. I always brief my crew on this. They're obviously free to take theirs off and we can have one-off shouted statements, but if they want to have a convo, it has to be with headsets on. I was even ready to resign from Delta if I had been assigned the 7ER in indoc. I'm not willing to be frustrated daily and slowly lose what's left of my hearing just to fly what, by all accounts, is a great plane

I heard that due to expected fleet longevity they’re swapping the comm panels from the Airbus to the ERs. Over the long run that will end up with more deaf pilots.
