Most women can’t grow a full beard. And that sucks. And I’m sorry.

Also I still think pilots with beards is asinine. We aren't steamer captains. Unfortunately as soon as it's allowed most "bearded" pilots will go with a permanent 2 day scruff that looks like you just came off a bender, or a Fu Manchu and mouth beard that looks like you're riding with The Outlaws on your off days, not a well manicured Hemingway that exudes steamer captain experience. Look the way the public expects you to and inspire their confidence. Our industry already has enough image problems without this. I'll keep shaving every day thanks.

Facial hair doesn’t have the same stigma it used to have. Passengers don’t care if you have a beard or not. Keep it neat and nobody cares.

I had a well groomed legit beard at my current airline that was well maintained. I liked it and wish I still had it. Even carried a beard trimmer on trips. I also wear clothes that fit and iron them. To each their own. Never had to ask for a jumpseat with it but definitely got some funny looks walking through the terminal from other pilots. Passengers didn't seem to notice or care.

But way to yet again play a victim card. That's really all you've got here. Your posts are extremely boring, even on your other 3 profiles. Get new material.
