What a strange response.
I was simply relating the explanation for the restriction on facial hair printed in the FOM of my first major airline. If that's now "passe", I guess they better get with the times. Perhaps it might be a little gauche too, eh Pierre?

(I'm pursing my lips a little with my pinkie in the air right now too).
I never claimed or even implied anyone was dangerous. If other airlines allow full beards on their pilots, then I guess their masks seal over beards or they don't care.
Back to the tattoos.
