I myself am a non-flyer (CE), we just got a new CC, a flyer, and he does not wear his bag. I think it would look ridiculous to have someone wearing a bag in a squadron where no one else wears them. I think if he decided to wear the bag, my squadron might be slower to accept him and harder for him to fit in, instead since he doesn't wear the bag, he fits in great and I really feel he is going to be a great CC for my squadron (I'm not saying that if he did wear the bag I would think he wouldn't be a great CC).
