[GulfBravoPapa]

Do you really have to shave for a FAM flight ?

Yes.

Do you really have to shave for a FAM flight ?

It had been 10 years since I cleaned shaved but I had to for a FAM I took a few weeks ago. Felt bad man

 

[sizziano]

What's the reasoning? O2 mask?

 

[CF]

That’s part of it but mustaches don’t interfere with the masks and most don’t allow those either

You know if they just let us show up looking like we normally would maybe less pilots would freak out thinking your some kind of FAA flight QC person or some shit.

or not?

The only way to make this come back is if people start writing “a FAM flight may have helped prevent this” on every ATSAP they file after a deal.

What if I can’t shave because of psuedofolliculitis (razor bumps)? I think many would find it looking equally as unprofessional if you showed up shaving with the road.

I had a shaving waiver in the military and hell I even receive VA disability because of mine. Feel like that’s kind of a slippery slope to deny someone official training because of a medical condition.

If your receiving VA disability over razor bumps, you already received your reward and have no need for FDT you scammer scum.

Where did you get a reward out of any of this? I don’t even know why I’m going into my medical history for your pathetic ass, but I had laser hair removal on my neck and under my jawline which was unsuccessful and I still can’t shave to this day due to infection and acne outbreak. And I’ll restate it, FDT is official training. It’s not a reward. In closing, you can go fuck yourself for calling me “scammer scum” for merely asking a question about having a medical condition and wanting to conduct training.

FDT was killed off during COVID and is never coming back. Let it go.

Any luck with ERR’s yet? Or at least looking at sup bids to get out?

Bro I’m not upset at all, was just asking a question about a formality. If anyone needs to let it go it’s you all.

I do believe you are incorrect.

I hope thats the case. But im not holding my breath

In general? ERR movement is a joke right now because of the arbitrary 85% rule. Sups wouldn't matter either because of the lack of deviations. I know multiple people that have outright quit because movement is messed up.
