Some black guys have unhygienic and painful skin problems when they shave every day. White guys are extra susceptible to skin cancer as more skin is exposed to the sun. Asians often have nothing to shave. As diverse as we all are, shaving is unnatural and dangerous for all of us.

When was the last time you came across a pilot who said they started flying because they were tired of casual sex in return for favors.

relaxed and unconcerned.
Casual sex is not done in exchange for goods or services. There is another name for pay-for-play sex, and it isn't 'casual'.

And yes I have shown up to work unshaven once. Met the captain, owned my appearance before he said anything and no problem. The reason was No water at the house due to water meter going bad. Had to bathe in the pool.

A well trimmed beard and no tie would look much better than a tie with a short sleeved shirt. All I’m missing is my AA pocket protector.
Many European/ME and ANZAC carriers wear beards/goatees. They look a helluva lot more professional than most US flight crews.
