It’s also against the law to knowingly spread HIV. This falls along the same lines as that, especially considering that a solid chuck of people never have symptoms.

If you “refuse a request” and get arrested for it, is it really a request?

This is how America dies. We chop off our head to save our pinky toe.

Congrats!

haha, yes. It’s like talking politics. I already know how a flight is going to go when the other pilot is wearing a face mask.

I do find it a little ridiculous that we can where face masks in the cockpit but not grow beards. Where is that oxygen mask nonsense now?? (Just sayin)

Exactly, not to mention the rest of the worlds airliners are not falling out of the sky due to their pilots beards.

it’s the mid-century military mentality that’s still pervasive through the American airline industry.

Research the coast guard. Beards were a deep part of their culture going back to their merchant marine-like roots. When the military took over more control and ‘professionalized’ the service they forced the removal of beards.

Interestingly WuhChu may change things. Think of the old 60s adage: get your hair cut, quit pot, and get a job. Only the opposite is legal currently..me thinks the hippies have won this round.

My brother, who dropped out of high school because he was bored, currently works for a video game company on the west coast making more than most regional captains. They recruited him before he was even a senior in high school. He can work remote, loves his job, and they don’t drug test....

The hippies definitely won.
