Eastern Airways' pilots wear hats...and we get a bollocking if we are seen in public view without them. Airside there is more latitude, but in terminals etc we are supposed to keep our jackets and hi-viz vests done up and our hats donned. Aim is to make us look smart (which it does)...if a little anachronistic. Our hat design (IMHO) is not the best as it is less broader than military hats, yet slightly taller...more like a 19th century era sea captain's hat.

First Choice - in theory yes, in reality....................................a gentleman of course would never wear a hat indoors whilst hats have no place near aeroplanes (FOD); that leaves the car park and the walk between the bus and the terminal front door ! Lady pilots of course are not required to wear hats which of course is sexist.

Excel airways do as well. I handed mine back about a month ago. What a relief!

BA but usually Captains and ex-forces only!

Loganair uniform policy stipulates the wearing of hats in and around the terminal, but not airside for FOD reasons. Mine looks ridiculous but does a fine job keeping my baldy heid warm and free from rain.

BRAL or is it BACX or is it BACON or is it Flybe or BACF? Did and do - but keeps the bald patch etc warm!

Neither and I wear the hat. Usually only pedants who want to make an issue out of being rebellious who take offence at wearing it.

We get hats at flybe but don`t have to wear them if we choose not to.

Used to be my one act of non-conformity then they got rid of hats!!

What a pisser!

I was appalled when I changed companies and never got a hat, how the hell do you stop looking like a drowned rat without one... especially in Scotland?

Glad to see flybe give you the option...

[Daifly]

What else can pilots now wear at a jaunty angle...?!

How do you get a F/O to wear his hat - promote him to Captain - as we always used to say.

Was always useful at slip hotels for putting ties, epaulets and all those odds and sods in.

My second airline so far and neither wear hats. Only my gran has ever commented, seeing me head out of the house "don't you have a hat, dear ?"

Anyway, I'd be top heavy...I don't have a sufficiently large chin.
