Question UK Tri-service and hay-fever!

Hello,

Just a small question which is on my mind at the moment.

Why is it that If you were looking to join the Fleet Air Arms or the Army Air Corps as a Pilot, why does the hay-fever rule differ between the two?
This may seem like a stupid question but, for example:
In the FAA and AAC you have to be 4 years symptom free to become eligible to become aircrew. On the other hand, you have to be symptom free for life to even attempt to become aircrew for the RAF.

I don't quite understand this logic as Pilots in the RAF, FAA and AAC will generally all be doing the same thing.

If you have any ideas, please post below.
Thanks!
