But wadawedo in the pub now?

I guess one may also assume that the decision would have been fuel based rather than one based on years of tradition unhindered by progress.
The bean-counters must have worked out that (Lack of hat weight + removal of associated, but no longer needed, hat hangar) x N crew x Y flights X 365 days, minus cost of Haeco hours for removal, would = 3/8 of a nano gallon/year.
Now if only we could get rid of the long pants and graduate to T-shirts, shorts and desert boots. No dress thongs please - we do have standards!
