No such thing as a free lunch.

I'm sorry to see such distain for the hat. Since WWII, the pilot's hat has always been a symbol of authority and professionalism, commanding a bit of respect.
In years past, a pilot would never be seen in public without their coat buttoned and hat on.
These days it's hard to tell who the pilots compared to everyone else working for the airline. I'm a firm believer that if you are a true professional you should look and act the part.

I think it's more likely comments like this that ID the tool. Who gives a damn if someone wants to wear the hat.

When any part of the uniform is mandatory and not worn purposely, they're just too cool for school. Probably a huge db, immature, and the type that will cheat a walk-around, leave out call-outs, and show that the checklist has been memorized when one has been called for.
