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.

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.

Yeah, in any case it's excessive and that "old school pro" BS needs to take a hike out of the industry already.

Absolutely. So long as the FMS works, we're in good hands. Bermuda shorts go nice with a bun & beard.
