So you've never used the word blacks or haole? You've never used the term "Jews" even though it's a religion, not a race. Our COO is a Brit.
I may not be politically correct, but I'll never be called a hypocrit. Just remember, Jimmy Kimmel did blackface, picked on midgets and had girls with bouncing boobies. Now he thinks he's the epitome of political correctness. Don't be a Jimmy Kimmel.

An Alaska pilot here. Can someone remind me of the Hawaiian beard policy and the history? We'd been told all of last year that the Alaska beard policy would be reconsidered when we switched to our new uniforms later this year. We were just told beards aren't going to be approved. Wondering if this has any chance of changing for us if the merger goes through. Thanks!

To be honest, I suspect their reluctance isn't beards per se, it's the enforcement aspect... they definitely don't want pilots looking like SOF operators or Grizzly Adams, and don't want to be chasing them around the terminal with rulers.

Pilots:
• Partially grown beards or mustaches are not allowed.
• Closely trimmed sideburns, mustaches and beards will be permitted providing they are
conservative, neat and clean.
• Pilots must be aware that wearing a beard and/or mustache may prevent a proper seal
between the face and the Flight Deck Oxygen Mask.
I personally have a beard and my wife likes the way I look with one. But, I am not willing to lose any negotiating capital during a merger to keep it.
