I just hope the military have got it right on this one and aren't opening themselves up to legal battles.
For instance:
if this is flight safety, will our mil personnel be allowed to fly on air tanker if their civvy pilots have beards?
And I can only presume, we have grounded any students of religious faith from flying in the U.K. as well?
How, exactly do the Navy, the airlines and the rest of the world do it?
And that's just scratching the surface.......
