If a male FA can wear a dress, painted nails and a beard (and it’s celebrated), you’d think pilots could have a beard (yes FAA allows now, look at UPS).
Careful you are going to get the ole’timers and military is the only way to think crowd up in arms over statements like that.
Im as conservative as it gets and even I think it’s time to allow beards and before someone jumps in spouting “professional” nonsense, some of the most respected and successful professionals in the world have them.
The only reason this hasn’t changed sooner is because they’re people who want to cling to the old days.
