Funny story. The FO I just flew with had been rerouted on a previous trip. As part of the reroute the FO flew with an ATL captain. Said captain told the FO to put the hat on. The FO put the hat on. The captain said if the FO hadn’t had the hat he would have had him removed from the flight. When the FO returned to base he shared the story with the union rep. They were not surprised by the name of the ATL captain. My bet is he’s a “no” vote.
