"Whistling to the wheat field" is a metaphor. A beard of sorts as well

Really?
You now speak for the majority of passengers in the U.S.? Did you head up a Gallup poll? Give me a break. Stating opinions is one thing, but now you just sound like someone I'd definitely prefer not to fly with.

Bears are one thing, either like them or not. Your hatred for pilots and FAs who don't meet your standard of BMI and age is pretty nasty.

Wow i guess we will find anything to argue about on this forum. Why are all you getting so bent out of shape about a beard thread?

I personally think beards should be allowed as long as it is grown professionally. A lot of men can look very professionally with one. I personally think it's a carry over from the military days.
While we are at it, I would also love to get rid of the tide on a short sleeve shirt. I think Virgin has it right.
