(Stupid) E-Jet questions

I'm the same as @Snuggle minus the Ray Bans. I'm a die hard Serengeti guy.

Use the company headsets (after using the sanitizer wipes), but I'll only take them off on long legs at cruise.

If you've got the taller Luggage Works bag and you're the FO, you'll either have to put it in an overhead or swap with the CA if he's got a 22" bag. It won't fit behind the FO seat of the 190. Found that out the hard way, but it fits the 22" bag perfectly.

What kind of headsets does jet blue have? At airways we have seinheiser. They are halfway decent.
 
I used to see people at XJT put on those company provided, dirty ass DCs without swabbing them down first. Made me cringe a little.

It all depends on what the manufacture of the glasses and displays used. Most glasses are vertically polarized, and if the display is also (manufacturing process) not as big a factor until you twist your head. But it sounds like the jet in question mounted the displays sideways, or they were made with horizontal polarization, and all of a sudden you have a King Air passenger window in full dark mode.

Idiots.

The worst offenders leave them in the empty seat or hanging on the chart holder for you though, how nice - I get to toss the pieces of junk in the cubby hole.

Amazing how even grown adults fail to pick up after themselves.

That is my single biggest pet peeve. I am always putting those piece of crap DCs away because someone's mother didn't teach them to put away their toys.

Personally, I don't get why people are too cheap to invest in something they are going to wear everyday and has a huge impact on hearing loss. I love when CAs give me crap about spending money on a quality headset that will protect my hearing and not have to worry about catching the flu from some pilot the flight before. The decrease in fatigue alone from a quality headset should be reason enough to buy one.

Yikes, look at the top of that thing. Its shredded and looks like a sponge. Ill bet its probably saturated with sweat and a hundred different brands of hair gel and other hair products.
 
#1 I've tried polarized oakleys and only in the Ejets did I have an issue. It was a no go. Every other jet they work fine.

#2. Good amount of room. I'd say more than a 737 but most definitely less than an Airbus.

#3. I use the Telex 850s and they're awesome. I rarely go topless because the 850s are just quiet and comfy.

I wouldn't be so definitive with polarized lenses not working in the E-jet.

They might not work for you, however, I wear polarized lenses with no problems at all.

Hmm might be a lenses/screens combo. I had polarized lenses that absolutely did not work in the E-jet but worked fine in the 767. Only tried one pair of each, and non-polarized fixed it. Do you still wear them? What brand?
 
1. I have polarized sunglasses, and they work with the caveat that you need to turn up the brightness on the screens. Also, if you look exactly straight at the screens, the lenses won't work. Turning your head even 5 degrees makes the screens viewable again. I only wear them in cruise.

2. Whatever's comfortable- I've seen every brand of headset.

3. Plenty of space on the Captain's side. On the FO side you have the jumpseater's audio panel and O2 mask to deal with, but a medium sized laptop bag can fit if you turn it at the right angle and don't move your seat back all the way.

Hope this helps.

CRTs vs. LCDs.

Hmmm, that may be. I know the Saab had CRT's and my polarized worked fine. Q400 and Le Bus have LCD's and again, fine with the polarization. Perhaps I've been lucky?

I know it can be an issue. However, to say "you can't wear polarized glasses" is absurd. I've always used polarized glasses and have been lucky enough to not have a problem. Like I said previously, it's all about the orientation of the panels.
 
I found an awesome pair of Serengeti's that I thought were NP but turns out they were. Put them on in the 170 and nothing but black screens. Returned them for a pair of Tom Cruise Top Gun specials.

I love my Telex 750's but still haven't found the best setting to hear everything without yelling, "huh?" When the CA says something.

I have a small Igloo cooler that I put snacks in and it fits nicely in the small cubby behind the gear pins.

Someone one time told me it has to do with the orientation of the polarization.

I can say from experience polarized glasses don't work in the EJet. That was years ago, so maybe they're changing tubes.

All @Autothrust Blue needs to learn about is Speed T and Speed E
