Boeing gets away with it because someone bought it.
Why do you rant about the obvious? Boeing would not make the airplane if it weren't for those who were convinced it was worth buying in spite of its flaws.
We just fly them, we didn't order them and if you don't want to fly them at UAL there are other fleets and seats to bid.

So just to get this straight... The uber guppy has a tiny cramped flight deck, it can't climb, it's altitude limited, it's a ground loving pig, it has tiny little Barby Doll brakes and reversers, it comes across the fence at F-104 flaps up speeds AND you need an ANR headset to keep from going deaf when flying it? Just one more time please, will somebody explain to me how Boeing is getting away with producing this over stretched, under winged, under powered squat geared, cramped, 1956 designed flight deck, POS of an airplane?

Bose and DC are both good options.
I'd agree that about 50% of pilots on the guppy have them. It makes for a great trip when you cancel out all the noise get to talk over the intercom.
I'm thinking about buying a second set just to show the "non-believers" how good it is.
