I think the hat and jacket is a very professional, old-school look, but certainly more appropriate for international routes where it is still de rigeur amongst foreign competitors.
Great pic, by the way. ^ Incidentially, Ms. Meadows was Bob Six's second wife, through most of CO's 'golden era'.
Audrey Meadows aka Mrs. Robert Six...she was one of the reasons CO became a pseudo-Hollywood airline along with TWA...
I agree the old-school look is great...who can forget Leonardo DiCaprio as the dashing young con-man Frank Abagnale Jr., posing as a Pan am pilot in Spielberg's great little movie "Catch Me If You Can"?
