I had one like yours about a week ago, coming back from LA. Except, he was a real estate "developer" that wanted everyone to know just how "important" he was. He sat right next to me. On the phone non-stop between the time we boarded and door closure. My pair of headphones does a pretty good job of canceling out retard, but not quite as good as jet engine noise. Try running the adaptive control from the app on your phone. I'm not sure that it does much, but.....retard levels are low enough after running the app that I'm quote happy with the phones all the way around.
(Oh, and a little AC/DC Gone Shootin' running in the background doesn't hurt either......)
Sitting in coach? Hitters ride up front in F.
Sitting in first class? Real hitters ride private.
Actually, real hitters send someone on a private jet to do the hitting for them.
