My god… he must have had his FO film this. Imagine being asked to help film and Instagram video prior to pick up? Just say no!

“Hey Cap, running a few minutes behind- meet you at the plane?”

“NP. I got the walk around- just need a quick favor with something when you get here…”

not a change. April 15 is no more hats and jackets until October 15. Been that way

Exactly.
He's also an international pilot; hat and jacket year round for international. The location appears to be an international duty free store/terminal.

Thanks; I'm just a domestic puke now. Is that now the normal LHR layover?
I remember staying at the Cumberland near there long ago.

It's funny when talking about the sexes.

D-bag/Igram hero, is well, a d-bag with a terrible haircut that engages in visually cringe worthy antics. His antics and physical appearance can be critiqued at will.

Say something about the SWA pilot and you're a misogynist.

Dang, this thread needs the virtual signaling "OOff" to save it.....

Ug, my bad. I thought he was at the airport.

BUT... since I dug up the FOM, Ch 1, first page
First bullet point under 'Seasonal and Geographical Uniform Requirements, it states:
When wearing the uniform coat, leather jacket, and/or overcoat, the hat must be worn.

It doesn't specify in airport or hotel. I'd assume it means all times in public.

I don't care who does/doesn't wear a hat, but since this person's Instagram is cleared through Whacker Drive, one would expect full compliance with company directives. That is not the case in this video.
