121.5 & Airliners
The only time that 121.5 is monitored is over the ocean or very remote areas.
While I can't speak for ALL Carriers, I am pretty sure that none listen in on 121.5 while over the continental US. Bob Gaines Retired Delta

A secter frequency might be handy if there's a repeater on one of the hills
nearby.

Duane and all,
Here's what I sent to Bob offline. Hope the spammers don't get my address....  Bob, Since 9-11 monitoring 121.5 has become a high interest item by the FAA. Apparently they tried to use it to contact some folks and they weren't listening. Anyway, we now look for it on line checks and judging from the chatter I'm hearing on it (American XX contact center on xxx.xx, etc) and the fact that they're getting answers I'd say it is being monitored more often than not.

I can tell you we do not monitor 121.5 at Continental on domestic flights as
a rule. If center asks we will but that's about it. "Nolaminar" wrote in message ... Just got latest information, and now learn that 121.5 is monitored by airliners.. Disregard first transmission. GA

I don't ever recall listening on what the military folks called "guard
channel", maybe once center made a request.

Something to remember if you suspect that a pilot is down/lost might be
to solicit help monitoring 121.5 from commercial traffic in the area via a request through ATC for a geographic area. Just a thought.
