As for the hat, I wore it when they said to wear it at NWA, and always thought the medallion made us look like the Kaiser's Sturm Abteilung. Didn't miss it a bit when it was optional, but now realize we really do stand out among the sea of slobs. If we want to lead the industry in pay and benefits, I think looking the part is important.
I agree with you and Frank. While I don't wear them anymore, I do agree long sleeves look better with a jacket. That's what I wore all my USAF days....jacket = long sleeve shirt and of course a tie. Short sleeve shirt = no tie.
Now, if we REALLY want to start a 100 page discussion........lets imagine an option of short sleeve shirts and no tie. Then we could get into a discussion of V neck t-shirts vs crew neck t-shirts.
I was actually at a reception once and listened to two 3 Stars give each other $hit about their t-shirts
All in good fun.........I'll wear my hat till it's optional, which ain't going to happen anytime soon.
