Keep reading. It also states this under "hat" "Uniform hat must be worn whenever the uniform coat is worn". The hat is only required if you are wearing the coat. If you wear a "black leather jacket" you aren't wearing the coat. See "leather jacket". The hat is not mandatory at all times. Only when wearing the coat.

Nothing has changed.

But you don't HAVE to wear your small wings on your uniform shirt. They are "preferred" for it.

Don't care either way...
Maybe I'm just jealous. I can't wear my leather jacket cause the new wings don't fit like my old United ones did, and going international I wouldn't be able to anyway....
Just playing devil's advocate.
Enjoy the weekend....:D

And the hat looks absolutely foolish on some. It reminds me of Ralph Kramden and his bus driver uniform.

We could all wear prom dresses and it would make no difference to anyone.

You certainly wont see a bunch of hat wearing L-UAL guys whenever "hat season" begins. In my view, that's more than a fair trade off for the ten year beating we took until Delta gave us a contract.

Only for international. If you wear the leather jacket you don't have to wear the hat. Hat only required if you choose to wear the coat. Here is a simple summary to the uniform policy:

Summer:
Short sleeve shirt with or without hat.
Coat with hat
Leather jacket with or without hat.

Winter:
Coat with hat
Leather jacket with or without hat

International:
Coat with hat
