Well let's see. Given that I fly JFK 767 Int'l, I can assure you I go overseas plenty. Paying attention? Last time in BCN I watched countless Iberia, Vueling, Click, etc crews getting in and out of the terminal elevators sans hats. Same with Alitalia crews in FCO... ditto the KLM crews who stayed in our hotel in BCN.
Same deal in Caracas, and a bunch of places in S America.
So I maintain that the hat is outdated and disappearing from most uniforms worldwide - for good reason. It does nothing for the uniform except makes it look too Nazi-ish.

Thats my point, dated. Just need a newer modern cut IMO. Nothing against its past.

Should airline pilots be required to wear hats? - msnbc.com travel
Evidently the travelling public has their own thoughts on hats... Most say yes or maybe. Only 14% say no.
Some interesting comments...

I think we should be in a uniform that looks like we get paid six figures (because we should, everyone of us).
Businessmen don't wear hats anymore, chauffeurs do. The public might see us as chauffeurs, but I'm sorry we're not.
