BTW, for those who say hats aren’t worn indoors overseas you are absolutely... wrong. Many overseas countries place a great deal of respect on pilots and wearing your uniform correctly is important. You almost always see foreign carriers wearing hats.
Some countries are so anal that if your picture shows you in a tie you had BETTER be wearing a tie when you go through customs.

Being an ex mil guy I was ok with the hat. I didnt wear it at all in the Summer but took it on my last 4 day trip as it got a bit colder and I dont have much hair these days.
It was a pain! There is nowhere to put it and unless you want to carry it in your hand you have to wear it in the terminal. It doesnt fit well either.
Waste of time.

I wore a hat my first 6 months at ASA and then decided “Nah, I wanna be in the ‘cool crowd’ at ASA” and ditched the hat. Enough fellow pilots and FAs had ripped me for wearing the hat. It’s amazing how pilot anti-establishment culture can corrupt a mind. Then years later and working for a different company I looked back on those photos of me in uniform without a hat and realized I looked like a complete slob without the hat. So I’ve come to learn the haters, I respect myself and want to wear the uniform correctly.”
As you progress through your career, whether it’s with a hat or without one, show respect to yourself above all else.

As a mainline guy who doesn’t wear it, I can assure you that only the uninformed think that a hat/lack of hat has anything to do with professionalism.
