re: United sets off Twitter firestorm for forcing teens to change prior to boarding

Sure, they have the right to refuse boarding to anyone they feel is inappropriately dressed.
The fact of the matter is, these girls were told they couldn't board dressed in legging because they are against UA dress code. Them flying on a UA pass means they have to follow the employee dress code. That's black and white, cut and dry.

Nowhere near as dumb as Delta assigning seats at the gate.

I hope United sticks to their guns. This is faux outrage and stupid.

i read that these kids were traveling on an employee voucher which requires a dress code?

Did you read what you quoted? This has dick to do with customers. Seriously, would you be okay with an employee hanging out at the office on their day off wearing cargo shorts, a wife beater, and no shoes?

If you are flying under an employee boarding pass (aka for free) then you need to abide by the rules. Typical left blowing up a non issue.
Girls didn't follow rules, plain and simple.

I know a couple of people that work for Delta and it's made extremely well known if you want to fly on passes, you cannot be dressed slutty or like a bum.
Not sure why I got downvoted for that.

They are pass riders. Fake outrage.

People that go to social media after "wrongdoing" or being "mistreated" is the epitome of the pussification of America.
Buy a ticket or follow the rules. It's not that complicated.

Every time I've used a buddy pass I've been prewarned by the person letting me use it that I need to be dressed in business casual.

So does United not have the power to refuse boarding to anyone they deem inappropriately dressed? Look, I get what you're saying here, but let's not pretend this isnt a PR frick up on UA. These explanations are just to calm Twitter reactions, by whatever BS necessary. It's not like they have to follow whatever they tell people over the internet
Not sure if you're an idiot that can't grasp simple concepts or a decent troll.

If you're referring to DL doing this for non-revs, I don't see the issue.

Would they let me ride if I were to wear a thong? If not that's sexist as frick.

Except the rules they were following apply to everyone
They have to have this rule:

Point 21 of its “contract of carriage” that notes passengers can be refused if they’re “barefoot or not properly clothed.”
So they can refuse people that show up in disgustingly inappropriate clothes. It is not enforced on people wearing leggings.
Its for 200 lb. weirdo chick from Vegas that shows up just wearing pasties on her nipples.

excuse my ignorance but, what is a "pass rider"?
Posted on 3/27/17 at 11:25 am to NYNolaguy1
Company policy... This isn't an issue. Snowflakes need to move on to the next issue buzzfeed tells them to.

Generally part of the benefit packages for each airline employee. Depending on their level of responsibility and seniority, they receive a certain number of "passes" to share with family or friends for them to fly for free or steeply discounted (think $30).
When the airline employees share these passes, they are to instruct the recipients that they must abide by a certain dress code. These girls, did not.
