QUOTE: Originally posted by jchnhtfd for what it's worth, most aircraft voice announcements for the pilots (to which one really is supposed to pay attention!) are female, on the theory that it will get your attention better. I rather think it does work.
QUOTE: Originally posted by radivil Some types of military aircraft even went so far as to have custom voices for every plane, using the mother, wife, or daughter of the pilot. And some got pretty creepy, saying stuff like "honey, my number one engine is on fire."

No defects at UP 299.3, and it IS duck season". I think that would make for a very entertaining defect detector. But really as long as the male and female voices don't start arguing about whether or not there is parking in the "white zone", then I think it would fine.[;)]
