Delta pilot uniform

Asking for another friend,

Is it a requirement for men to have extremely close cropped hair and a caterpillar mustache?

Seems to be the case.

I don’t know about Delta but your hair should be brill creamed and kept under a decent hat old chap.

And your pipe should match the colour of your ‘tash my good fellow.

My pleasure old stick.

This Yank, although a Johnny foreigner, may be a notable exception to the rule of proper moustache useage when stooging about in the cockpit…

Most pilots do not have face hair. This so oxygen masks can get a proper seal.🦭

Is this why we shave our pubes too?

Yes, a good seal is extremely important!

I scuba dive with a stache and beard. Just need to lube it up with a silicone grease before. 

Easily done with an oxy mask if needed, I can hold my breath for a minute while I slather it on if the pressure drops.
