I'm pretty sure military flight crews already do that, albeit with the idea of measuring exposure in case of nuclear war.
Also, when radiation is blocked by matter, secondary radiation is generated. Since the composition of cosmic radiation is for sure different than the one found in other occupational settings, lead vests might or might not have the same effect. Also, the aluminium skin of the aircraft already has a similar effect. There might not be that much to be done practically.
It would be interesting though to let flight crew wear radiation badges.
