No, the chauffeurs of aviation would be the Private Jet pilots.

We are the Bus Drivers of aviation, and like Ralph Kramden, we should wear hats!

Don't know about wearing a cover with the uniform but I know darn sure married women should be required to wear a hat when they are let out of their binders.

Kinda like this guy: Dyktator I Zwiastun I W kinach od 18 maja - YouTube

Sure, it might take me an hour to get dressed, but I'll bet you the azzholes at the TSA checkpoints will jump, when I say JUMP!

;^)
More likely the TSA will make you take it all off, after all pilots are a security threat you know!

This is your opinion, and that is fine. But we are tasked by the company to wear a certain uniform. Period. You have a choice if you don't like it. Sorry, but dems the facts.

Good point, however, in all fairness to UAL, it looks like wearing a hat w/ pig-tails might present a challenge.

It looks to me like management is succeeding at managing our expectations. The majority of these posts are anti-hat.

What would our compensation be if we inflation adjusted from the '70's?

Funny how things change, isn't it?!

I know, too deep...

Mr. tsquare, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
