Of course, I've encountered tools who weren't wearing a hat. And I have flown with great guys who happened to have a hat. But it's my decidedly unscientific observation that when a guy shows up with a hat (God forbid, especially the ones who are wearing a hat, but just the white shirt -- no jacket or blazer), then you're more likely to be in for a lonnng trip.
And wearing your hat indoors at the LaQuinta breakfast buffet...it just defies belief, really.
And finally, there needs to be some kind of reg prohibiting regional FOs (myself included) from wearing a hat. Ever...

And I'm sure a judgemental guy like yourself is just a real pleasure to fly with. Let me guess, you sit there and make fun of everyone else because you're so perfect. Meanwhile all your Captains are silently thinking what a tool. That said, wearing a hat at breakfast is a little goofy.

All the little juveniles that can't keep their fingers and their immature comments off of 121.5 in US domestic airspace. FOQA catching a few and promptly citing them while also stripping them of their FCC permit and employment.
Another US example of unprofessional behavior from US Regional Air Carriers. Pathetic little boys playing on a radio that may be needed for an emergency.

Yes, ironically our own fantasizing domestic "extremists" are the ones who want to carry in the cockpit, and would react to a minor challenge of their beliefs by going full-blown crazy when an adult tells them there is no Santa. These are the people you'd LEAST want to have guns in the cockpit. Yeah, it is a catch-22.
Think about that last odd super-religious pilot you last flew with. Substitute God with Allah, and give him a gun to carry around. No thanks.

Amazing how much you think you know about our work environment. I wish I had as much wisdom and knowledge about it when I was still flying piston singles

Honestly, I've never found immature guard acitivity to be a pervasive problem in all sorts of flying operations over the course of 20,000 hours. You're comment about FOQA data and apparent aggressive enforcement surprises me. Not intending to give you a hard time ... genuinely interested to hear specifics. Do share.

But when the other guy in the plane doesn't think it's quite as witty as you do and calls pro-standards, it might get toned down. The guarrrrrddddd thing is getting old, it was funny the first 250ish times, but now it is the same as a 6 year old telling the same joke over and over.
This problem will solve its self, when ATC gets tired of the issue and the FAA decides to involve the Federal Governments full willingness to chase shadows. Couldn't cost more than a few dozen million....
The guy who yelled on 121.5"would you guys get off the Delta Ops frequency right now" was pretty funny though.
