I have heard many complain about it, and like I said, I don't mind it. I agree with you that it is part of the uniform, get over it guys and just wear it.
What I would like to know is why not require DCI guys to wear hats? Why the inconsistency? If hats are professional for Delta pilots, why not require connection pilots to wear hats?
Oh and you are 100% correct - outsourcing sucks!

Yeah I haven't heard anyone say the hat is a symbol of holding us down either, I was just referencing a post someone made a few pages back (That I'm too lazy to look up
) that talked about that. I just thought that went a little overboard. But yeah, I havent been here that long, but in my few years here, I also have not heard anyone look at the hat that way.
You bring up a very good point, if management is truly worried about our image to our customers, then why not make DCI pilots wear the hat too.
Unfortunately, the answer might be that they aren't that worried about the image, and more worried about picking the lowest bidder to do our flying
