BTW, charging for liquor and headsets have been around for 6 yrs. I recommend get a 2 prong attachment and enjoy with a real headset.
A good recommendation. If you forget your adapter, they sell those two-prong dealies for $10 at Brookstone stores which are in many airports. I'm sure most any eletronics store at the airport would have them as well. Probably even cheaper at Radio Shack or Walmart.

Regarding the no free headsets, I understand it isn't the F/A's call, it just seems stupid that after taking a two or three hour delay on a flight (TATL or domestic), the company wouldn't authorize it as a token customer service offering.

I remember pilots authorizing free drinks in years past for delays - does that no longer occur?
