I will be honest and say I doubt we will go back to allowing beards. Our branding/marketing departments are strongly in control of the airline and uniform standards/appearance related issues are huge here.
I will say though, I have a killer Reserve Beard going right now. 9 days so far!
If they cared about uniforms/appearance, they would invest in uniforms that don't look cheap and would pay for tailoring (not reimburse you from uniform stipend funds). The Caring value--as with the other four--is suspended when the price tag gets too high.
