My convo with an FA:

- FA: Channel 9? What do you mean?
- Me: The cockpit/ATC communications
- FA: Oh, that's been illegal on US based airlines since 9/11. Only the foreign airlines have it.
- Me: Oh, it's been on on all my flights recently...
- FA: On United? Really?
- Me: yes, it's definitely a thing!
- FA: Okay, I'll ask for you, but I don't think so
<time passes>
- FA: I asked the captain, but unfortunately we can't, because this is an old Continental aircraft and they never installed it.
- Me: Okay, thanks very much for asking!
No channel 9…..and no air nozzles!
I don’t care for the pmCO old 772s.
