I don't understand why there is such a big deal about wearing hats? Sometimes we sound like toddlers. The company asks for it - wear it. Tons of people don’t like tons of things about their jobs.

If you don't like it make sure it is the right size and looks good. Take it to dry cleaning once in a while with the rest of your uniform.
And besides, what's next? Backpacks, wrinkled shirts, dirty shoes? Spiky hear? Earphones? Nipples, visible through your shirt? Crying about how delta tickets should be flown by delta pilots? But from the way we look - what's the difference?
Maybe I am exaggerating here, but can we really ask for 100% pay restoration if we look like pilots who make $20/hour?

PS. NO, NOT RUNNING for CPO. No, not a Marine. Yes, worked for a company where hats were optional and didn't wear it for years. No, not balding. Yes, tired of seeing pilots who look like trash. Thx.
:)

+2 I completely agree.

Sorry Super. If you're still alive, sorry.

Could always be worse, there was the guy who painted the field for the Jacksonville Jaguars:

That's classic!

Guess it depends what side of the field you are one as to which way to run!

BTW..... Go Hogs!

Not running for CPO either, but I just wear it and deal with it. Love hearing guys talk abut trying to negotiate to make the hat optional in the next contract. In my opinion, I think we should focus on what's important in the next contract.

It's not so much about the hat, it's about the style of the hat:

I agree. Well said!

I hate wearing the hat, but I do it because it's part of the uniform, etc.

Others may disagree but I think the (properly worn) Delta pilot uniform is by far the best looking in the industry. When I see some guy walking around with his double breasted jacket unbuttoned and no hat...I cringe.

I see pilots who work for the DCI carrier Du jour with (or without) hats, with (or without) jackets, with (or without) backpacks, ear buds, etc. There's no standardization even within the individual DCI carrier. In short the whole lot of them are very unprofessional looking.

I think it was in charm school where they told us passengers look at a pilot's shoes. If they see they are clean and shined; that gives them confidence that the pilot has his (or her) sh*t together (my phrase).

At least wearing underwear is still optional.
