Mustache and the airlines
 
What's the ratio of guys that have a mustache at the airlines compared to those who don't?

Those who were porn stars in a prior career have the 'stache, those who didn't have, well should we say, the requisite equipment don't..........

Now this is a topic worth discussing. Pilots are inherently bad@ss, so flexing our facial follicles comes with the territory. Research has shown that pilots with mustaches tend to make a pilot look 47% more awesome, and pilots admire their fellow 'stached aviators 13% more than their freshly shaven counterparts. It's data on the internet, so it's got to be true.

Never trust a white man with a mustache or a black man without one.

The mark of a true aviator.

I've also heard those with a mustache also make more money and always find an attractive girl at the bar on overnights, because science.

Used to be about one in ten, it used to just be the old guys but now the millenials are pushing the ratio up. Works best on former fighter pilots.

What about asian guys?

Only Les Abend approved lip caterpillar staches are worthy!

Can they even grow facial hair? :eek:

Slightly less than half of the female pilots at my airline have them! ;-)

One airline tried to ban mustaches, but that was ruled unfair to walruses. :p

Remember 86.75 % of statistics are made up!

The scientific ratio is $1.395%.
