Hats off + a new lanyard is the best first step.

1. It’s legal and RLA-compliant.
2. It has no adverse effect on our customers. They don’t care as long as we fly from point A to point B safely and on time.
3. It gets under management’s skin (see PB’s emotional tantrum over hats during an upgrade class visit last year).
4. There is absolutely nothing that management can do about it when adopted by >90% of the pilot group.
