Not sure what's dumber, the hat itself or the Company expecting us to believe that our passengers requested we wear them.

If wearing a hat is the biggest issue you face with your Company, you've got a pretty sweet deal going.

Seeing several guys walking around CARRYING their hats. You think hats look stupid? Carrying them looks worse.

Maybe they were running between terminals for scheduled 45 minute turns and didn't want to icebreaker their way through a crowded jetway of people completely drenched in sweat. Sometimes you have to take it off and let the heat sink cool off.

I could see that.

I mean how else in 2018 are we going to get back everything that DALPA wants us to give up on this contract? We're going to have to give up something.

Plus hats make you look professional. Hats are why DL will win in SEA. Hats are Alaska's plan to stay in the fight.

Alaska captains' cabin announcements will overcome Delta pilots' hats.



Passengers really like to be PA'ed to death.

They really really love it if the PA is done from the FA's phone in the front of the cabin. Eye to eye PA's to death are just better.


And make sure there is 0 airflow in the cabin. Just to let people know how much their comfort matters to you.

That is why they call it a "sweat" band. If you are hot, I see nothing wrong with getting down to your "Wife Beater", the folks will understand. (The 88 crowd.)
