Question for anyone who may know:
I have an interview Tuesday with Flight Safety, in the last two months I’ve grown an incredible beard. Anyone ever notice if any of the instructors there have beards? Is a beard acceptable for an interview? I don’t really want to shave it off, though I will if I need to. Appreciate any insights, thanks! |

I’m not actually anti-beard, but I’d question the motivation of anyone who finds them so important they’d risk a job over one.
But in this case it might be a reasonable consideration... how bad does he need the job, and what are the odds of actually getting it? If you're a pilot on a serious job hunt, you should shave most or all of it off. But if it's just an opportunity that popped up for a guy who's otherwise happy with his circumstances, maybe not as big of a deal. |

There are people today who refuse to apply to airlines over the beard issue.

Really? Pass on multi-million dollar career over a beard? That’s got to be the ego talking loudly.
It's a thing in this day and age. Imagine the shame, you'd have to delete your insta account I guess. Personally I think any guy who's that invested in his hair needs to do a three year stint in the USMC to learn man fundamentals, that don't rely on grooming props. But it's a free country. |
You almost have to give Robin Olds honorable mention for the epic stache.

Amelia Earhart didn't have a beard?
No wonder she got lost. |

FlightSafety, one word. Founded by the godfather of modern sim training, Albert Lee Ueltschi. Knew him. Most definitely a no beards boss. If you really want the job, lose the whiskers.

Negative… Been to many facilities in recent years. Some instructors and post holders sported neat and trimmed beards.
But things change & the topic is interviewing. Behind a beard. Who knows, maybe we’ll get as Paul Harvey used to say, the rest of the story after today’s meeting? |
