SWA has now made the wearing of a uniform hat optional..For those of you thinking of interviewing at SWA that otta be just the thing to seal the deal..No hats!!!
This place just gets better and better!!
Continental has a similar policy. Hats are optional during the summer months. Hey, Tri-Star Driver, didn't ATA have the same policy? I seem to remember some caveat in the FOM about hats being optional during hot weather. Is that still true, or has it changed?
I never really minded the hats as long as they weren't too big. Some people put those hats on and they look like a Russian Army or Banana Republic General (have you seen the size of some of those things?)
Along those lines, I do think the simpler the better when it comes to uniforms. I liked the thin stripes we had at UAL... made the uniform simple and sharp. Alaska and Aloha have similar stripes on their epaulets. You start wearing those big thick stripes... now you start looking like an Italian submarine commander (or something like that). And I just can't help it, but our buddies at Delta... I mean c'mon fellas, a double breasted coat with a NAME TAG?!?!? May as well have those ropes hanging on the shoulder, white gloves, and a sword at your side. Now Delta guys don't get your shorts in a bunch, I'm just bustin' your chops.
Oh wait, this is supposed to be interview discussion... SkyWest used to ask people about wearing the hat during the HR interview. There, I included interview discussion!
