I hope to be able to look the part when the day comes, so I'm all for hats. Hopefully by then we won't have descended into baseball hat/leather jacket/jeans/sneakers uniforms. Hey, you're at work not at the ball game...so what if there's a uniform?
Oh, and the reverse snobbery can be dropped any time. "Pilots like to pose" ya whatever you probably like to pose pal.
