This has to be a fake post?

This thread is pretty amusing considering our FAs seem to wear pretty much whatever they want these days. Half wearing the purple, others wearing the salt-and-pepper. Any jacket seems to be just fine. And we’re visible to the customer for all of what, 15 seconds?

if I see a guy not wearing his hat, I assume they’ve forgotten it and I don’t much care after that. Not my job to be the uniform police.

I see another pilot I think, “hey, what’s up buddy?” I wouldn’t even notice if he has a hat.

JFC.
The amount of people that go out of their way on something as stupid as this. We have a uniform, wear it. If you don’t like it, write the CPO, the Union, EB, Congress, whoever you feel like. But wear it when you are supposed to. And if you have DH/commute gear, more power to you there, I don’t care. But if you are walking through the terminal with your jacket wide open, tie way down, and your hat on your bag, seriously……..
And I know this probably ****es some off, but just wear the d**m thing when you are supposed to. How hard is it? You knew when you got hired that pilots had uniforms right?

“I don’t wear the hat because I don’t want to” = let’s find you a new job.
I forgot my hat once about 5 years ago. The ATL CPO was clueless and uninterested in helping me, so I flew the trip without a hat. The world didn’t end.

What if the captains decided “if you’ve can’t figure out how to wear a uniform correctly, you’re off the trip” who do you think is going to win?

Maybe I’ll start playing that game tomorrow. And no, I didn’t start the thread.
That's the beauty of being an FO...You don't even discuss it with the CA. You just call the CP while you step onto the jet bridge doing a preflight. Make sure they know the "Who, what, where (and I guess wear)" of the uniform transgression. Usually the trip is over by the time the CP catches up with the CA and you're in the clear!

This is NOT about lack of available uniform pieces.

My gripe is about employees who don’t feel like wearing the uniform correctly because they don’t think they should have to.

So, who has some kind of problem with that?
What’s your reaction going to be when your FO shows up with a beard? How about tats? A guy with makeup, or a non-binary FO? All of these scenarios are coming to YOUR cockpit and soon. And you choose to get twisted around the axle about a hat?!
This is gonna be fun. Maybe I won’t retire early. I’d hate to miss the show.

So if the chief pilot told you to wear your hat or get fired you’d pick “fired”?

Again, it falls in line with “what other policies do you chose not to follow because you don’t feel like it?”
I’m fairly sure you aren’t giving your FO the choice of “wear the hat or get fired,” but keep daydreaming
