Which Uk company has Hats?
Just wondering which Airlines have Hats at the moment.
I know first Choice do.....any others??? CT |
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. :ugh:
|
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!

We get hats at flybe but don`t have to wear them if we choose not to. :ok:
|
Used to be my one act of non-conformity then they got rid of hats!!
What a pisser!:{ |
Hats
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... :ok: |
What else can pilots now wear at a jaunty angle...?! :ooh:
|
<<BA but usually Captains and ex-forces only!>>
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. |
I've got a Policeman's Hat...:oh:
Shags |
Saw a copy of a chap's roster on the inside of their hat!
|
The VS lads dont wear hats????????
Aussie |

The Americans are the kings of crap hats, seen better on parking attendants :}
|
I've got a shiny helmet :O
|
So anyone? Virgin Atlantic, do they wear hats?
Aussie |
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. George |
