They were not surprised by the name of the ATL captain. My bet is he’s a “no” vote.
I don’t even carry my hat with me. I’m guessing he doesn’t actually have the power to remove his fo due to no hat. Fear tactics. He can call chief pilot who will probably laugh at him and tell him to get back to work. What an A-hole.
