I look as professional as possible. When I see a hat guy....I'm on my toes.

You really do think a lot of yourself. Unfortunately, you're so egocentric you can't recognize that "professional as possible" translates as UNPROFESSIONAL.

You guys are worried about the guy who wears the hat when RJLoser wears yellowed shirts that have never seen an iron, aren't tailored, aren't tucked in, and the zip tie hanging to boot. Add cheap pants, crumby shoes from Marshals, the Oakley glasses hanging from the epaulet along with the big LSU lanyard...

Fixed it for you. He considers that "as professional as possible."

Hahaha! So true..What's with the college lanyards? Unfortunately what many pilots view as "relaxed and cool" comes off as childish and sloppy.

Are you listening, Loser?

WOW! I really hope you don't work for my company. You Sir need to grow up alittle.

But, he won't. He strives to be "as professional as possible." He thinks he's the penultimate airline pilot.

You think the public views TSA as professional? Really?

They certainly would if they (tsa) wore hats - or so your logic would indicate.

The TSA doesn't have the tradition the airlines do...the military tradition. In the early days, most of the pilots came from the military. And the airlines basicly copied military uniforms (including hats) to send a visual message to the passengers that said "professional".

For you youngsters like Loser, check out the new show Pan Am, since you aren't old enough to remember a real Pan Am uniform. Its almost a direct copy of Navy Dress Blue.

Delta still uses a double breasted blazer that is a lineal descendent from the same Dress Blue.

The Captain's hat was something airline pilots aspired to. It was a visual signal that commanded respect. If a situation arose that the Captain had to deal with, the first thing he did was don the hat. It gives you an edge in that its an unmistakable sign of exactly who is in command.

Fubi- You're a hat guy huh?

Loser,

Read the above. Then read it again. I don't expect you to understand or even grasp any of it since you're obviously a civil trained product of the entitlement generation.

But please don't ever wonder why the airline job (note: I didn't say profession) you finish your career in will be as a low-paid bus driver. If you won't adhere to the mere standard of a uniform regulation, how can you expect your management to respect you enough to treat you like a professional?

However, considering your attitude, you'll never be more than an RJLoser anyway. An apt screen name, to be sure.

Oh well, off to Maui...Aloha!
 
Well the cool thing is now if you want to wear a hat you can, and if you don't then you no longer have to. I do recall from my enlistment in the navy we weren't allowed to wear our cover indoors or on the flight line so that would wittle down the places we could wear our hats if we are going by military standards. I guess it would be correct to wear it outside while waiting for the hotel van.

You are lost my friend. I'm not a youngster but by no means an old fart. I'm a furloughed guy waiting to go back to the job you stated I will never attain. I follow my companies uniform policy. Looking professional is a responsibility I take seriously. I do not wear a hat.

Looks like you have some deep seeded SWA envy. What's up with that?

Fubi- confirmed hat guy.

PS- this is not the navy.

The man makes the man. Not the hat. This is EXACTLY what's wrong with your "hat think".

It's "deep-seated".. It's not a plant


Just one pilot helping out another.
 
Then you never will be one.

Don't waste your time anymore. It's like banging your head up against a brick wall.

You know, hopefully we'll both be retired or dead when the day comes of airline pilots wearing those dockers, golf shirts and sneakers. <shudder>.......
 
[FONT=’Arial’]After reviewing the results of the wing and hat emblem design vote, which included three design options, there was not a clear majority winner; therefore, we will have a runoff vote for the two most popular designs. Please take a minute between today and next Sunday, Oct. 23, to cast your vote for one of the two following design options: Design 1 that will display our company name only, and Design 2 displaying our logo icon only.

[FONT=’Arial’]How can you not have a clear majority winner there CT? This was a computer survey right? Do we have some hanging chads somewhere?? Pretty sure this is more money saving scam tactics. Option three was obviously the most expensive and it seems clear they don't want to pay for it, otherwise it would be an option this second vote.

[/FONT]
[FONT=’Arial’]I don't know of anyone who would have voted for the first option and most guys indicated #3 was their choice...

I'd like to see a breakdown of the votes. I don't trust these guys AT ALL anymore. then again, I probably never should have

Ummmm, go back at look again...
The "option 3" on the first survey (the one you are referring to) is now the second option on the new survey. It was basically a close margin between #1 and #3 in the first survey, so they are having a run-off.
Or, in better terms, they are producing another survey to keep you distracted from the raping of your QOL that they continue on both sides of the current house. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
 
It is possible to not have a clear majority when there are three options. Ex: 33% , 33%, and 34%. or 40%, 40%, and 20%. I hope this clears things up.
 
Sorry to burst your bubble Fubi, but the days of Pan Am (when I KNEW I wanted to be a pilot) are gone. So too are the dedicated stewardesses who were all about customer service and making the passengers (and flight crew) happy. It was NEVER a career for them back then. Food was good, agents were professional and always polite.

Pilot respect, prestige, and pay all went away long before hats were ever an issue.
 
I think ASA has one of the best uniforms in the industry. The hat and name tag really set off the uniform.

Though, the new ASA logos are not as good as the old ones.

That's my 2 cents.
