Exactly. Of course if you "accidentally" forgot to verify the trip the same thing would happen.

I'm just yanking your chain, this stupid hat thing is ridiculous. I doubt it will be any different than the last ten years. Fred Abbot was the hat guy...he's gone and his people express mind set as well. Thank god. They should just make the damn hat optional and be done with it. We have more pressing issues around here than the hat.

Yes, of course this Abbot guy wanted airline pilots to look like airline pilots!!!! How could he????

You sloppy hat less dudes keep your cool leather pilot look going as you walk through the terminal looking like Tom Cruise wannabe's....

Will you be going shirtless while wearing your awesome leather jacket too?

You guys must ride Harley's too...you're awesome!

Difference between me and Tom Cruise?

He pretended to land on aircraft carriers....

Tom Cruise is actually a wannabee to many of the posters on this forum.

Go Navy.

I dunno, I'd rather have a competent set of slobs up front who look like me than those snappily dressed dudes from Asiana while my caboose is parked in coach. Especially if they were flying the incredibly challenging daylight visual approach into SFO, or any other approach to any other airport on the planet for that matter.

Some guys just love to look at themselves and other drivers I guess. Pretty sure James is checking out the slender ladies and not the other pilots in the drome when he's on strollby.

Ho Lee.

The hat nazis are still in play. Delusional, but in play.

I'm sure looking like a stepford wife does not necessarily correlate to a good pilot. It does however correlate to something.

..........Fook?

And you can clean lavs and load bags in your hat if you want....like Fred and the PE crowd. I guess we don't look like airline pilots in the summer when we wear no jacket and hat.

Right. We should wear the jacket YEAR ROUND. Its "not professional" to not wear the jacket.

Even in the summer. Even sitting in the cockpit.

Plus we should wear the hat when we have sex on layovers so the flight attendants know who is the boss.
