well not that i'm saying i think it is fair but....
if it is in the nature of the job to have unrestricted worldwide travel then anyone that doesn't isn't elidgable, i know a crew member who had to get a new passport because it had an israeli stamp in it, and if the us don't/aren't willing to reissue if for example a crew member travels to cuba then is that illegal or is it just unfortunate that this mean the crew member would be limiting the operation?
