Air Canada approves Facial Hair
Air Canada pilots may now sport beards up to 1.25 cm, thanks to a new study that proves there is ZERO interference with O2 masks. They join fellow N.A. airlines WestJet and Hawaiian, in permitting facial hair in the cockpit.

Have worn a beard for years now, and i have colleagues who have worn one pretty much all their working life. There was never a restriction from the regulator about it, just a warning that one should take into account slightly elevated O2 usage in case it is needed. But that has been in europe, no idea about regulators elsewhere.
Now, airlines might have some rules what kind of beards are allowed, most that i know do not allow stubble, but that is more an aesthetic thing than anything else.
