Are you afraid to discuss beards?

Remember Folks that a lot of companies have prohibited beards per their ops manuals which means that you may be denied a Jumpseat with a beard. You cannot expect a crew member to violate his or her manuals or company policies ( you are considered an ACM on the Jumpseat), when you are requesting a ride. This will become a jumpseating issue as more companies allow their pilots to sport beards. It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out.

A bit illogical since most dispatchers can probably have beards, and they have to JS for currency. Not sure about feds, whether they have to comply with company pilot grooming standards. Don't recall seeing a bearded fed.

The US mil is 100% no beards, unless necessary for operational reasons. The later only applies to special forces.
'Staches are pretty seriously limited, but allowed. Sideburns, barely.
