For all of these expressions of Professionalism, pride in the job, yadda yadda yadda, don't forget that there was never (as far as I am aware) any consultation with the KA pilot group over whether to keep said hats or not; the decision was simply handed down. Do you think KA management believe that their pilot group will suddenly become less professional due to lack of a hat?
I am extremely confident that the vast majority of pilots in KA feel no less professional than they were 2 weeks ago when they were wearing their hats, I also have the same confidence in that close to 100% of the KA pilot group are happy to see them gone.
If you honestly believe that wearing your uniform hat makes you feel more professional, perhaps you should keep it on at all times. Mr. V. I think you may be reading more into this more than actually exists. My only regret about losing the hat is now I have nowhere to store my ID card, wings, pen etc etc.
