Did you want to an airline pilot when you were younger? What was the standard uniform worn back then when you looked up to pilots as a kid? Who gives a crap if you have to wear a hat, enjoy your North Face.

I assume you were never in the military.

Except the military generally doesn't wear covers indoors, which is where passengers will most likely encounter crew members. I never liked wearing the hat indoors and will gladly exercise my option not to until the rule (or my employer) changes.

Yeah right. Joined May with 60+ posts already, while conveniently MunkyButtr hasn't posted since Apr 23. No one comes out that fast, that aggressive that quickly.

Yep...I never understood how the airline industry, which is so intertwined with the military, makes indoor hat wear a requirement.

I've also never liked that in the military was *mandatory* to wear a cover when stepping even one foot outdoors...just another thing to forget and occupy an open hand. For parades, ceremonies, dress uniforms, etc. I 'get', just not for the "utilities."

Sigh, I'm just a worker bee, I don't make the rules and the military doesn't care how I feel!

Remember in El Paso when the mechanics hat blew off his head next to a running jet engine, and he went after it?

Thats why hats are not practical in this industry.

Man, MA, you never cease to amaze. Only reason I'm here is because a little birdie told me you gave a shout out. I am no longer part of the 121 world and unlike you I have left Pinnacle in the rear view. I wish all those guys the best, but to be honest with you I could care less about Pinnacle. I recommend you do the same. I just added 10 years to my life by not giving a rat's anymore. It's wonderful! I bid you farewell, sir.

What airline requires you to wear one on a walkaround?

Hint: none.

Try again. They look far more professional than the pullovers and wannabe southwest leather jackets.
