The Hat without the Blazer

[Seggy]

"[The Company's] public perception as an airline is projected through the appearance of our flight crew" or something to that effect.

But if you are wearing a hat and the guy you are flying with isn't that looks pretty unprofessional on that group. Don't you think?

I think a large part of professionalism is being professional even though it's not convenient, popular or encouraged.

 

[Seggy]

Of course.

But by definition a uniform should be standard. Not some folks wearing a hat and some not.

It certainly does look a bit goofy having one person with a hat on their head, and the other having it jammed into the outside pocket of their suitcase.

 

[Seggy]

Or not be required to have one...

Chief pilot: "Why is your hat shoved in the pocket of your bag?"
Pilot: "Because it's too small for my head."
Chief pilot: "Well come on, let's go get you one that fits."
Pilot: "If you do that, then it won't fit in my bag!"

Cover up those chrome domes. Otherwise, let the locks breathe. If CA is wearing it, you wear it. If not, then enjoy the easy weight loss.

You've a funny-shaped head anyway.

How many miles on it now?

Chaps don't have asses.

IDK. After wearing chicken plate in 115 degree heat wearing a hat in Florida seems pretty trivial.

I go with the one that can keep you alive.

... but a few years in, they look like some disheveled hotel van driver.

Because that's what the company uniform looks like.

I'm all for mandating coat (one coat, the blazer) and hat, year round, coat possibly optional due to climate/weather.

Also, if your sunglasses dangle from your uniform, you're doing it wrong.

True. I make sure mine are safely affixed to the top of my head.

489,000.

Still nickel and diming.

Well, there's no place to hang it on the outside of my North Face.

Freight is great.

This trip @amorris311 has made me wear my hat while I fly and in the hotel shuttle.
