IIRC AS had previously stated there would be some sort of beard allowance this year.

I’d like to see AAG try to tell Hawaiian guys coming aboard that they’re going to have to start shaving. Never going to happen.

On the pilot calls last year every time the question came up the answer was to wait for an update when the new uniforms come out.

Gah, I assumed you were referring to the boomers sueing to keep their jobs. I'll crawl back in my hole now.

YMMV.... 3 years of FO-ing at SEA and there's only one guy who I wouldn't want to fly with again. That's way better than previous airlines. If other bases are even more chill, then I'm all for it.

I hope they just update their policy to allow beards, but if they don't, the company will absolutely make it happen. They will simply pull the beard wearers off their trips without pay until shaving happens. Nobody who is smart enough to fly airplanes over the ocean is dumb enough to die on that particular hill.

In this woke world? Not a chance in hell would they risk the backlash of making a single native Hawaiian shave his decades-old beard. That’s a hill Ben and friends will not die on, nor be even seen on.

I'd like to have the option to grow a beard too Hopefully they decide to allow it, but remember, they are only as "woke" as they think they need to be to make money. They aren't progressive or conservative, their are only ideology is chasing $$.
