I have a serious question... What do you guys do while in cruise? Are you allowed to have those headphones that play MP3s? Do you take turns spotting traffic while the other reads? Just curious. Thanks.

I never listen to music while flying..... however, you may find me monitoring the ADF tuned to various AM stations to maintain situational awareness.
I will never complain about a boring flight.... exciting flights
are way too much work.

The only recent midair I can think of involving an airline was a result of an ATC screwup, followed by pilots not complying with TCAS...always do what TCAS tells you to.
Reading or talking is what usually goes on. Also updating Jepps and manuals.
