Jumpseating with a beard?

[wms]

Dispatchers and mechanics can where beards and do not have to shave to sit on the jump seat. As far as pilots I think they have to be in uniform or business casual and not have a beard at our airline. You can look like this and sit on my jump seat.

No I wouldn't let them on. You missed my point, and part of my post. The reason we are not allowed a beard is not because it looks bad, it is because of the O2.

What does the grooming standards of your FOM state?

If someone is on vacation, dressed and bathed appropriately, and has a beard, the O2 would be my concern, not the persons professionalism.

yet disregarding the rules questions professionalism....

Not on my jumpseat. While at the same time, I am sure the company would throw image right out the window and put a greasy dirty smelly mechanic on the jumpseat if they needed him to fix a jet somewhere....

I bet Courtney Love would ride on your jumpseat too...

As a bit of Rock 'n' Roll trivia, ZZ Top wrote a letter to NASA in 1980, formally requesting to be the lounge act on the Space shuttle. You just got to admire that.
