Narrative:
We had been cleared into position on runway 27, when, after reading back clearance, the right side microphone became stuck in transmit position. After a short time in takeoff position, I observed a light signal from the tower, and immediately checked for a stuck microphone. I freed the button and advised tower. We were instructed to hold position, and in the interim, another air carrier medium large transport executed a go around. The rest of the flight proceeded normally.

Title: RADIO CONTACT LOST WITH TWR DUE TO A STUCK MIKE. LNDG ARR TFC PERFORMS AN EVASIVE ACTION GAR.
Narrative: WE HAD BEEN CLRED INTO POS ON RWY 27, WHEN, AFTER READING BACK CLRNC, THE R SIDE MICROPHONE BECAME STUCK IN XMIT POS. AFTER A SHORT TIME IN TKOF POS, I OBSERVED A LIGHT SIGNAL FROM THE TWR, AND IMMEDIATELY CHKED FOR A STUCK MIKE. I FREED THE BUTTON AND ADVISED TWR. WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO HOLD POS, AND IN THE INTERIM, ANOTHER ACR MLG EXECUTED A GAR. THE REST OF THE FLT PROCEEDED NORMALLY.
