Does JetBlue allow Beards, for at least guys with medical skin conditions? I have a short 3/8 inch, well groomed beard. I am currently in the military and have had it for the last 10 years, since I was diagnosed. I know there was a study done in Canada that busted the myth of not being able to obtain a proper seal on aviation O2 masks. I get fitted every other year for masks in the military, both positive pressure and Chemical / Biological. Its one of those 15 minute seal tests, where you have to read out of a book while moving your head in multiple uncomfortable positions. The machine says I get a good seal every time.
I know other countries airlines allow beards, and I know Hawaiian allows them, but was unsure about JetBlue, or any others.
Any info would be appreciated (except your personal opinion on why you don't like beards)

I will be honest and say I doubt we will go back to allowing beards. Our branding/marketing departments are strongly in control of the airline and uniform standards/appearance related issues are huge here.
I will say though, I have a killer Reserve Beard going right now. 9 days so far!

Era pilots can have beards too, I assume it’s to protect themselves from Alaska’s frigid temps in winter and to store food inside of in the event of a forced bush landing while they rescue themselves.

We used to allow goatees here, but that changed maybe 4-5 years ago. I haven’t seen any beards since then. Our FOM prohibits it, but I am not sure what the answer would be if you have a medical condition.
