My guess is that the regionals will start allowing facial hair soon because they will have to in order to attract talent.... along the lines of "one more perk of working for us is that you don't have to ditch your facial hair"

Well i don't care either way, but if this passes you'll question whether I am your pilot or a duck dynasty employee as I'll be growing it out like theirs! Go big or go home!

You have options. Screw that airline's "policies". Walmart is hiring truck drivers. Beards, face tattoos, body odor, beer guts and cowboy boots are all okay. Also, over 65 encouraged to apply.

I couldn't care less about beards. Good luck with your fight. I would ask if I were on the management side: You took a job with the full knowledge that you would never be able to have a beard, and now you want one.
How is this not the same as buying a house near the airport and then complaining about the airplane noise?

Can we have man-buns? They are extremely wicked cool.

I love how apoplectic many pilots get regarding trivial issues that have no bearing on them or their income stream. Yet, they will wander off whistling while serious threats to their authority, their contract, and their lifestyle are crashing the front gate.

Yup.

This whole thing is a joke.

Literally and figuratively.
