Although I've come across a few crews who still don't seem to have read that memo from March 2018 about the change in policy. A few weeks ago I was landing somewhere on a widebody and the grizzled SD told me I had to take off my own headphones at the same time as they had collected the AC ones. I was tired and didn't feel like educating her, so I just waited until she had sat down and put them back on.
