What do the Philadelphia Eagles have to do with college football? I guess you mean Boston College?

If you don't like it make sure it is the right size and looks good. Take it to dry cleaning once in a while with the rest of your uniform.
And besides, what's next? Backpacks, wrinkled shirts, dirty shoes? Spiky hear? Earphones? Nipples, visible through your shirt? Crying about how delta tickets should be flown by delta pilots? But from the way we look - what's the difference?
Maybe I am exaggerating here, but can we really ask for 100% pay restoration if we look like pilots who make $20/hour?

PS. NO, NOT RUNNING for CPO. No, not a Marine. Yes, worked for a company where hats were optional and didn't wear it for years. No, not balding. Yes, tired of seeing pilots who look like trash. Thx.

I like the hat because it helps me cover up all my grey hairs. Plus, where do non-hat wearers put their change, cell phones, gum, ect. when they are going through security?

Tom,

Are you doubting a Pilots ability, any Pilots ability, to complain about multiple issues simultaneously?

Let's not complain about the hat policy, but since we're professionally attired why not ask the passengers to dress up for the occasion a bit as well?

Uhhh, what do you mean our society has changed quite a bit from when we could expect such behavior? Maybe if we just showed that we think enough of them to require it they'd see how much we truly respect them.

I'd kinda like to go back to goggles and a long white scarf.

But only in winter.

Do you mean nicely polished flip flops and freshly ironed sweatpants?
