Flight Safety and Beards
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!

Jobs and careers come and go, but beards are forever.
If flight safety doesn't like your beard, you don't want to be working for them, anyway. Stand by that beard; especially an incredible one, like that.

If this is the job you really want I'd lose it unless your future DoT has one.

Yeah get some local intel.
If beards are no bueno for employees, whether you shave it for the interview depends...
If the job market is tight, better just shave it.
If they're struggling to find qualified candidates then you might get away with it, but let them know up front that you'd shave it if hired.
If you really need the job, better just shave it.
