If you want to get technical, there are a couple of exception to this “rule”. Two of those exceptions are airports and hotel lobbies, since they are public places. Those are the only two places I wear the hat, since I am forced to at my current employer. When I was at XJT, I bought two hats. The FO hat, which was brought to IOE and promptly left at home for the next 12 years.....and the CA hat, which I promptly returned after one hour of wearing it to work.

Yep. Same thing with a “sharp” haircut, whatever that is. If it’s within grooming standards, it’s professional enough. Then again, the shavetail wonder-goobers out there are pretty entertaining.

Seriously though I would much rather have a crew member that flies like a professional, acts like a professional than look like professional. The uniform and hat is just eye candy for a naive traveling public.

In talking with my fellow pilots that have had to deal with REAL emergencies. The Pax always look to the person with the Hat on. This comes from landing gear problems and Emergency Evacuation.
The Choice is always yours.
I wear my hat when I wear my coat.
