Default Grooming for interview (literally)

Howdy folks,
Real simple question with a self evident answer, I bet.
But I figured I'd gather a consensus opinion.
I'm shooting for a regional interview. Im low time ( 680/299 ) so I doubt I'll get it, but I wanna give it a genuine run.
I've got medium length hair and a neatly trimmed goatee (anchor, actually)
Looks kinda like this (according to my wife):

Sorry ladies, no that aint me.

A friend who has worked for the target airline for several years tells me not to worry about the hair.
I've seen facial hair on flight crews before.
But I dont want to _____ this up.
Prudence tells me to shave it to insure the most professional appearance possible.
Wisdom tells me professional appearance doesnt require sterility.
I dont wanna be lost in the crowd, but I also dont wanna be a "Price is Right" spectacle.

Thoughts?

(Yeah...I know... If I cant make up my mind about something as meaningless as this...I shouldnt be allowed at the controls of something important.)
