The Hat

[hmmm]

Remember that the hat switch is ON. Anytime you are in public view, or likely to be viewed by management, WEAR YOUR HAT. In the concourse, on the jetway, wherever. Show solidarity with your fellow pilots, show management our solidarity…. WEAR YOUR HAT.

Short answer: yes.

Get back to your homework, junior. Keep working on the insults too, they're pretty weak.

 

[instructordude]

I proudly wear my hat!

 

[Bavarian Chef]

Hats on heads do not a pilot make.

 

[800Dog]

I proudly wear my hat!

I proudly do not! Geaux Tigers!!

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

I compromised: Hat in Winter if and only if I'm wearing my beotchin' leather jacket.

No hat in summer.... EVER!

 

[lazyace75]

I'm sorry but you 121 guys make me laugh....

 

[Bavarian Chef]

I'm sorry but you 121 guys make me laugh....

Tell me about it.

Somehow not wearing a hat looks unprofessional, but wearing a tie with a short sleeve shirt doesn't in any way scream "I work for Inintech" or "I work at Rent-A-Center."

Oh the humanity.

Why is it that when pilots know they will be photographed or when they work with kids at their schools ie adopt a pilot at SWA, they wear their hats proudly with their blazers. Why the fake front. Either keep them on your damn head or keep 'em at home. Lots of hypocracy there. I see it all the time. Why is it that you want that public to perceive you as the consumate professional outside the airport, but at your work environment, in front of the passengers and the pricks at management, when it really counts, when you should look like a professional, you walk around all jacked up with black high top reeboks (Yes I saw this). We"re losing it big time. If you look like a shlub, thats how you'll be treated. Just my opinion. So the next time, when you're doing the food drive at the local hospital or homeless shelter representing your airline remember jo jo the bum doesnt care how you look, just as long as you feed him. So keep your lid in the closet.

 

[Bavarian Chef]

Yeah, the hat will surely fool 'em. They will barely notice that typical paunch/gut, lint-encrusted pants and that rollaboard with the "Ski Naked" and "Buck Fush" bumper stickers on it.

Hat?

I proudly wear my hat!

That's not a hat, Instructordude...... Most of the rest of the world refers to it as a condom. At least you got it on the anatomically correct appendage-even if said appendage happens to lie between your shoulders.

Even if I had a had it wouldn't look right with my goatee.

BACK TO BEARDS NOW>

that way the 54% pay cut will be worth it.

 

[hmmm]

Short answer: yes.

The reason the insult is weak is because I don't mean to be as much of an a s s as you are on this board.

I copy pasted it because I thought it was typical union stuff. But as seen with your post you didn't have the ability brain wise to realize that it obviously must have come off a union board.

Was brought here to see how others felt about it. It's off a a well known MEC board. Those who have read it there know where it comes from. (I won't mention which MEC because I don't know how the members of that branch of the ALPA unit feel about it. I don't want to wear it myself but if I have to per the union I will.)

You didn't nor do you seem to have the abitlity to recognize it is something form a union MEC so all you can do is be of weak mind and hurl an insult.

Not much more insight than many of your posts just another simple minded knee jerk reaction instead of thought.

Your comment did nothing but waste space just like my comment back to you is wasted and just serves to make you more defensive of you child like response.

Thanks for your interest though.

Maybe you were just drunk impairing your superior insight.

Since you acted like a child this time I imagine that you will now spend time searching my posts and copy paste them here in an attempt to shore up your credibilty instead of working on the future as a pilot community that we are here on flight info dot com.

Or you can be a man and say you reacted too quickly and show you have the decency worthy to be PIC.

Maybe you would be nicer to each other if you had hats.

whoa, easy does it, turbo. my response was called "sarcasm," which you may have heard about--or even encountered once or twice--in the pilot community.

And as long as you're giving lessons on how to be a PIC (free, no less) let me give you one. a PIC takes stuff in stride and doesn't fly off the handle. Work on it and get back to me.

Maybe your hat is just too tight...try the next size up. Or maybe you've joined forces with Tanker Clown...

 

[TWA Dude]

Many airlines are now hat-optional. More will likely be in the future. How I conduct myself as a professional pilot is a lot more important than wearing a head ornament. The military knows it's polite to remove one's hat when indoors. And working pilots know it's too hot and too hard to keep a hat on when outdoors. The result: my hat stays at home.

BC,

Thanks! I was looking for a reason to never wear my tie again!

That, and the various electronic gadgets that a lot of hefty pilots like to wear around their ample waist lines make for quite a well dressed nerd. Do you really need your blackberry on your person during flight?

Now that was a decent response.

I was just wondering how wearing a hat is a show of solidarity.

Solidarity is shown by all voting the same way.

And that is accomplished by way more than adequate communication to the troops.

I would get involved with the communication end of the union but I don't think I would bring much to the table other than office work printing and putting out literature as a copy boy.


This would The contract wants and needs should be fully explained in laymans terms to the rank and file textually with the positives and negatives and then communicated well and not just once. The information needs to be disseminated again and again to solidify the ranks so a educated vote can be made.


A hat seems like it would do nothing without information pounded in again and again to make it worth something real.

This would go for any pilot group.

Uniform police

We recently got a memo from CP at MEH saying that the variances in uniform were unacceptable and dicipline could be forthcoming. Hence back to wearing the hat full time. B-4 this it was an afterthought. Anyone else out there have this. I hear that NWA got rid of the hat with thier concessions???

Um, ok Spike, but I think it just got sucked into the engine.

You know, the funny thing is how many complaints I get from pilots when I wear long sleve shirts. They tell me how hot it is in the summer. Maybe Myth Busters otta take a look at that one. I have never been treated for over heated forearms.
