the pax don't care what you're wearing as long as the ticket's cheap. stop trying to convince everyone that the general public thinks of us as professionals. they most certainly do not. they think of us as a bunch of overpaid (ahem) whiners. wearing a hat in no way shows the world just how professional you are, just as not wearing one doesn't show just how little you care.
 
He!! yes! Chicks dig a little scorching!


How about the young 'uns with the oversize hats that float down over their ears and make them look like Barney Fife? Is that professional looking?
 
14RFSUX,

You can pass on the hat! If anyone gives you grief about your hat you let me know. I will introduce them to Mr SDF Slugger!
 
Anybody notice the front cover of the ALPA mag a few months back? No hats on all the MEC guys.
Nuff said.

Was that the same one with the guy front and center with his collar unbuttoned and his ziptie hanging loose? that guy looked really sloppy.

You leave the hats off when taking a picture of a crowd so you can actually see their faces.

that being said wear the uniform like the FOM says that is the definition of professional.
 
...that and a coercion tool, as are most uniforms.

At least chicks prefer the uniform over a janitors outfit.

only the stupid chicks..then they figure out janitors make more and leave us for them with theyre cool key rings
 
Dress like a professional and you'll be treated as a professional. If you don't like the uniform look for another profession.

Couldn't have said it better. Most of you young bucks make a terrible statement about proper uniform conduct. Quit wearing your sunglasses on your head. No matter how "cool or convienent it may be" it looks absolutely silly and I regularly hear comments from the traveling public about the matter. A subject I in any position and as a CPT have zero tolerance for. A pure representation of lazziness and attitude.
 
I wouldn't worry too much unless you wear hip huggers.

Um, I know this subject is foreign to some of you, but women are shaped differently. The plain 'ol JC Penney suit pants you all wear don't fit us right! Hence the hip hugging. We either wear a size up that look ridiculous, wear a size that fits ok, but are tight in the hips, or wear chick pants (which almost all with the bell bottoms).

What's a girl to do? I know we're in a men's profession, but geez, do we have to wear men's pants too?

I haven't see UAL, DAL or AA female pilots with this problem.

And by the way I wear Canali.

I saw the funniest dam thing the other day, passing through ORD on my commute I saw one of the local flavors of United Express walking through the terminal with epaulets on his trench coat!

Not hat, or blazer, but gosh darn it people will know I'm a pilot if I wear my epaulets on the trench coat!

Can't vouch for UAL, DAL, or AA female pilots, but maybe they're just a wee bit older than me? No they can have their granny panties and uniform pants, I'll keep my thong and hip huggers, thanks! Guess it's just my generation!

And Canali... talk about spikey jelled hair. Can you say METRO?

I saw this the other day too. It ranks up there with the Mesa windbreaker.
 
The purpose of the uniform is to project authority not look cool.
I wear the required uniform! But underneath I wear a brazilian banana hammock, that way I know I am cool! And also project the requisite authority!
PBR

Must not be up on mens fashion. Can you say junior, with the spiked jelled hair can't afford it.
