Lol so those HVC's that fly UAL and AA are going to notice our hats? Is this a hat war? Reality check they all/we all have hats. But we're the only bell hop/luggage check people that are actually required to wear them these days. Give me the southwest option of the north face style jacket and ditch the hat. SWA seems to have no problem attracting HVC's but yet here we are driving our tugboats into icebergs of "Poor Manning" everyday so at least we can put our hats over our hearts as we go down with the ship of senority crushing reroutes. Fyi people don't care if we have a hat or not.
