Who wears the hat?

Eagle pilot here. I wore mine up until recently when Dallas was moved to the surface of the sun. I will wear it again if/when it ever cools down. When I was still wearing it I did manage to leave it in the hotel lobby at CHO. Luckily I realized it as we were getting off the shuttle at the airport, and the driver went back and got it for me!

Same here I'll wear it when DFW cools off a bit and I need a jacket. I tried one trip and its been at home since. Too dang hot out now.

And btw as far as the military is concerned, covers could be worn in any structure with a 12ft ceiling or higher. Somehow it wasnt considered "indoors" at least according to the regs. *shrug*
 
At my company, the hat is optional year-round. We generally have three types that will wear it:

1. New guys
2. Bald guys
3. D-bags

We will give the first two types some slack.

You got that right, whenever I see a hat wearer that the first thing that I think and 9 out of 10 times it is true.
 
It is however silly that we have a "uniform" and some people wear the hat and others don't. It looks silly when some of us wear it and other don't and that needs to change. I think they just need to ban the hat everywhere and get it over with.

I want to wear shorts and female pilots should be able to wear skirts.

On hot days on the EMB the shorts thing would be really nice. Skirts combined with control yokes and rudder pedals. . . Hmmmm. . . . Might be a bit of a distraction. ;)

Seeing as how some people's idea of a uniform is a hawaiian shirt and flip flops I'll take that as a compliment. No wonder the American airline industry is in the sorry state that it is.. When crews can't even take pride in themselves. European and other international crews really put us to shame.

What? People should take mer seriously in a ripped up, stained beer logo t-shirt with flip flops and 3 day stubble. Its not how I look its how I fly the plane... now wheres that speed tape! *sarcasm*
 
I always wore my hat, because it was policy. Once it was optional, it collected dust.

However, I have to agree with Embraer above, we as a whole don't look terribly professional, as compared to overseas crews.

Yesterday, a cute FBO chick complimented me on my uniform, as most freight guys don't wear one. Of course she was hitting on me, however it still proves my point.

Who are you kidding, airline pilots don't use rudder pedals.
