The single breasted blazer is both classy and functional and looks good when you unbutton it to sit down. I'm surprised this hasn't surfaced in uniform testing.
I wouldn't sweat the hat and shoe rules. Those will eventually morph anyway based on where your domicile is. DFW will be a boot base and PHL and JFK will be no-hat bases

After a year it will just droop, no more flying out, sorta like elephant ears. Try to hold the sitting down to a minimum while on duty. Management likes you to stand smartly in the concourse, answering all passenger questions.
