I always thought that all the airlines should do that. Most of the hats they wear looked like they came from a Russian Army surplus store

I don't think too many of us like wearing a hat, but it's winter and they are good for stopping the rain!
I hate getting a cold, and aircraft are prone to drip on you during the walkaround!!

Bumblebee,
You'll find that if you wear your ear defenders over your cap during the walk-round they will prevent it from leaving your head and also give the cap that lived-in look - what Mike Stephens used to call the "50 mission crush".
You do wear ear defenders on the walk-round, I hope.

Southwest Pilots 'get to wear leather jackets'
Probably a dream come true for the John Wayne, Tom Cruise
wannabe's.
I think many of us would just prefer to dress like Airline pilots.

I started a thread called "Why wear hats?" a couple of years ago.
Got flamed by a few people, but generally most pilots agreed that caps are an anachronism. Good to see that another company has got sensible. Hope there will be many more.
