Back to the thread. First off, the DAL folks look great with the hat. The main reason I wear the hat after it became optional is to upset those who don't like it. Bozo shoes, back packs and polo shirts doesn't make one a better pilot. Neither does a hat, but it impresses little kids.

I also still have hair unlike people a lot younger than me. I deal with the "hat hair" just so the bald folks have no excuse.
