That is, indeed, true.
There is however also a mention that "....cult fashions such as facial piercings, use of loud hair colourings, handlebar moustaches...etc. etc. ad infinutum" are not allowed.
This might seem irrelevant but I refer to goatees. Some senior pilots think of them as a cult fashion, so though a beard may be fine, a goatee could be completely unacceptable! I thought about growing one last year but in the end thought it not worth the hassle. Useless information but hope it helps.
What I don't understand is why goaties can be unacceptable but handlebar moustaches get a blind eye turned.
Amazing...
