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.

It's completely anecdotal, but the majority of the CA's that were on my no fly list wore the hat, so there's definitely a strong correlation there. There was a small minority who wore the hat who were pretty awesome to fly with.

I'm still new n all, but I don't understand why people have such a hard time wearing the hat. I wouldn't mind wearing it lol I wear a cover everyday for work anyways so why's this so different? Not trying to argue as I know I'm in the minority, but just an honest question.
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.

When a hat is optional, wearing one says you're a bit of a tool. You want people to look at you in awe that you're a pilot. Or maybe management type. Plenty of people they wear hats when optional and they're just fine.
