Dress codes have been around since the beginning of civilization.

That's normal for non-rev passengers.
Correct. Non-revs must abide by company dress rules which are more stringent than the paying public.

Good for united. They have strict buddy pass rules and I've got a feeling whoever gave the teens those passes will no longer have their non-rev privileges anymore

United’s immediate response? Since always. As outrage grew on social media, United Airlines took to its own Twitter account and repeatedly defended the gate agent’s actions. “United shall have the right to refuse passengers who are not properly clothed via our Contract of Carriage,” the company wrote on Twitter to people who asked about the policy. When pressed, the company directed people to Point 21 of its “contract of carriage” that notes passengers can be refused if they’re “barefoot or not properly clothed.”
I didn't see anything about a pass or free fares here...

If you are flying free then follow the rules

Good for United. Don't come in here taking advantage of the employee and guest freebies dressed like a slob. That's the deal. If you don't like it, don't use the free flight vouchers.
Bet they weren't thin enough to be wearing them in public.

I've flown on Delta buddy passes and been told to dress well by the person that gave them to me. If you cause problems on a buddy pass, then the person that gave it to you loses their privileges.

Sigh. The non-rev rules aren't to be shared with the flying public. However, UA does still have rules for the public around dress codes.
I wouldn't expect UA to publicly share their non-rev rules just as I wouldn't expect my employer to share our employer handbook with anyone who asked to see it.

I suppose "properly clothed" can be applied differently to paying customers vs. free-pass flyers.

Good for United. Their airline, their rules.
Once again, social media spreads ignorance like a wildfire.

totally agree with their right to refuse. But also, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Nobody would have given a shite or even knew they were not regular customers, and now they are receiving backlash.
I am surprised (or maybe not?
) you're the first to get what happened here...Posted on 3/27/17 at 10:41 am to NYNolaguy1
No when flying on an employee pass there is a dress code in effect bc you represent the company.
When I fly with Lufthansa on a pass I dress business casual.

Need pics of said passengers to determine if the forced change was appropriate...

I'm trying really hard to figure out what your point is. It seems to be masked among a bunch of irrelevant comments.....

That makes sense, but why justify this separate rule with their being refused if one has nothing to do with the other?

I've watched non-revs get booted from planes because of a last minute revenue addition, told to move to another seat, and forced to select their meal last in first class.
None of them went to social media about the treatment.
Posted on 3/27/17 at 10:44 am to NYNolaguy1
I don't see the problem here. If you are an United employee, and you fly on an employee ticket, you should adhere to a dress code because you represent the company. This would obviously be different if it was some rando but this is a non story
