Deltas obsession with hat wearing is the joke of the industry....

Pop,
If you don't like the fact that Delta requires us to wear our hats, don't come to work here. That's the beauty of this country. You can choose who you work for.
Go somewhere else, or stay where you are, and you might find that while you are joking about hats, you are also complaining about work rules, profit sharing, pay rates, and schedules.
I remember after 9/11, I got bumped from DC-9 captain back to 757 FO, and after concessions, taking a ~50% pay cut and crappy work rules. But hey! -- Hats became optional and they allowed us to wear leather jackets. I wasn't impressed.
When looking at the big picture, you might find that hat's and hair styles are small potatoes. But, if you want that to be your issue, go for it.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you get, or are at, that dream job where you don't have to be laughed at because you are wearing a hat.
