When we see pictures or video of NWA pilots on the picket line (see latest Centerline), why are we always wearing our hats?
My theory: It helps the public immediately identify us as pilots.
Just a thought...
I still find it funny watching just about any movie with pilots in it and they are wearing their hats and blazers WHILE FLYING
Picket line? Are the NWA Pilots on strike over something? What is going on?
I don't know about the employee bus, but I wear my hat because my head seems to be an ideal place to put it. It beats walking around with it in my hand.
Ever considered just leaving it in your locker?
Not at all. I don't care if someone wears their hat. I think it presents an enhanced image of professionalism...but I don't really care if anyone else agrees with me.
What I think is lame is adopting the position that you should alter your personal integrity because someone else alters theirs.
You opening comment on the hat issue was, "And management told many of us they would fund our retirement."
That's an attempt to rationalize your adherence to a rule you agreed to abide based on someone else's status as a weasel.
It might be trivial when applied to the issue of hats, but I hope you see the broader impact.
My boss, or his booger-eating surrogates, acting like indifferent scumbags does not justify me acting like one. That's not an "image" issue...it's personal integrity.
You are right. So correct in fact that I plan on wearing my hat during my oral next week. Should get some bonus points for looking professional and I can feel ethical at the same time.
