Wearing it is indirectly or directly siding with the company. Not wearing it is indirectly or directly siding with the union. And pilot unity creates a strong union, which can be applied at negotiations. If half are already wearing it for free, it carries little weight.

I don’t wear it simply because I don’t like to wear hats. No other reason. I have no issue with pilots who do wear it. But I do see some guys wearing it poorly. There is a proper way to wear a uniform hat, and we don’t have people in the company explaining this to new hires. I’ve unfortunately seen more than a few of our FOs wearing a hat that’s too big and their ears stick out. Looks bad. I’ve been debating on whether to say something, but I don’t want to kill their vibe or come across as a D Bag Captain. If you wear it, just wear it well and own it ladies and gents. It seems to me that the passengers respond well to hat wearing pilots, so do it if you like. Just do it correctly please. My simple observations.

Hats
I don’t wear it because it’s not required & I still have a full head of hair! Wore one w/ previous life’s. Not going to wear unless it’s required besides I know I would always loose it. And no chicks don’t dig them

This just in...the company is doing nothing about the logo.
The original design from third grader little MC No Name is staying despite obvious complaints.
Apparently the more metal they use from their vendor the cheaper the price, hence the 1.5lb ornament on your head.
