But if you really think that re-instituting the required bellman hat will automatically increase pay--- we're in trouble ...
Stand next to a gate agent and FA and the pilot idendity is lost. Like it or not.... hat = pilot.
Good point.
So instead of starting trends... stick with tradition, that includes the hat. Look like a pilot get paid like a pilot. Look like a gate agent or FA.....
I'm with Rez on the hat, but I agree with you about the leather jacket being a far worse trend. Nobody wants to be hurtled through the air at 80% of the speed of sound in an aluminum tube under the command of......The Fonz.
Dude-
you guys are 10 years late to the conversation-
both the hat and the leather jacket trains have left the bldg.

Well, you are... I'm paid quite nice and can wear my uniform how I want as long as it's sharp
only in my paycheck. you?Who cares!!! Are you so insecure that you can't stand the thought of being misidentified as a FA or gate agent?
Then get paid like a mesa pilot. Do you care now?I've been told by a few hatters, that because I don't wear a hat someone might mistake me for a Mesa Airlines pilot. My response, "I couldn't care less".
Would you be able to indicate that you have no soul? Actually, that is what pilots think they are doing... losing the hat to look like MBAs, all while mgnt is skillfully molding our image to look like FAs. We are blue collar labor, not white.If I show up for work looking like a CEO, will I get CEO pay?
If you are told long enough that you are just a airport worker or something less than you are (battered wife syndrome combined with Stockholm syndrome) you'll start to believe it.....I don't think it has anything to do with pay.
It's just a matter of professionalism.

Looking at the distant shot can you ID a pilot?
BTW, I think it's the nicest looking uniform, with cap off course, around...
Did you mean "off course" or "of course?" I think the pilots looked much better wearing their hats than they would of without.
