Super disappointed to hear that.


Not me, I'd hate to actually have to start doing something with my hair. I used to hate the hat, then I start losing my hair and suddenly it's not that bad :D.

Whoever said it, i thought "civil disobedience" was funny. I bring more jokes.

And yes. No ties either. Jeans/delta polo or bust.

We can keep the shiny shoes.

there’s nothing legally that would prevent delta from requiring a degree and excepting flows. It’s not lawyer stuff, it’s just that delta changed tack in the face of a changing market

I’m indifferent about the hat. I HATE the double-breasted jacket though, so this is sad news indeed. Can’t look like a 21st century human from the neck down & an 1800’s steamship captain from the neck up. Superfluous buttons remain in our future I’m afraid.

I’m guessing hat is staying around because a majority of pilots indicated they want the hat to be part of the uniform. I have to say I’m one of them. Don’t necessarily enjoy wearing it, but it does set us apart from other airlines in a good way IMHO.

Mods, what do you say we lock this thread down and you give us all this guy’s room number for a blanket party?

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.

Actually, I've had several HVCs say to me that they know we don't like it but they think it looks sharp and makes us look professional and they like it.

Neither one bothers me. Actually I think the hat with no jacket looks silly. Now the mask on the other hand…..
