As mentioned above, we all knew the hat policy at Compass. Not wearing it gives the impression that you have a "rules-don't-apply-to-me" attitude. It also forces the Captains hand to either ignore it or address it.
But worse, coming on here and *****ing about the CPs attempting to correct a behavior that is undeniably in violation makes you seem clueless and childish.
The news letter was 10 pages long (of a non-required pub BTW). 9 and 2/3rds pages were good information, some even encouraging (eg Aerodata). The hat item was literally a third of a page.
Why aren't you anti-hat (or anti-hat directive) guys discussing the implications of the new Aerodata, or attrition, or fuel?
I see it sometimes and yeah, I've let it go even though it's in violation of the FOM. I've ignored it thus far because I feel like making an issue about it sets a confrontational tone for the rest of the trip. You want to gripe about the enforcement of the hat policy? I'll take some of that blame for not addressing it with crew when witnessed, thus letting the issue escalate to the CPs.
