Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire no Leggings for 11 years old on United Airlines

sharia law is setting the dress code on United .

I understand the tickets were bought by employee vouchers but the kids are too young.

for hunting trips , always wear leggings under your pants in cold weather , it keeps moisture away from your skin.

P.

The article clearly states that tickets bought under employee status have a dress code. That is entirely reasonable. The girls either didn't read the fine print, or ignored it. They agreed to change clothes and took a later flight.

Much ado about nothing here, folks.

They conveniently left out a VERY important part of the story. This is from a Foxnews report of the incident:


Our daughter works for a large airline and we have flight benefits as her parents. Employees have a limited number of guest passes that they can give to friends and other relatives. When flying as an employee or AN EMPLOYEE'S GUEST, they're representing the airline and they have a strict dress code that must be followed. If they don't like it, they can buy a regular ticket.

These girls violated the dress code so they can't fly under the terms of the guest pass. Cut and dried. They're welcome to go buy tickets if they don't want to play by the rules.

no , don't give in. I ask all women and some men to consider buying leggings.

P.

Yeah....but that story isn't as juicy as what was initially stated in the article.



Clyde

what if dress code was head scarf , would you have agreed to it?

P.

I hope one of the adults in the group was the employee whose tickets they were flying under. If not the employee that gave them their vouchers is liable to lose their travel privileges. When we fly standby or ID90 on employee vouchers we follow the rules for employee travel. If you don't like it you can buy a full fare ticket and wear what you want, within reason.

this is deja vu all over again, no dress code for women with extreme prejudice , unless you are a woman or gay.

P.

there ought to be a dress code that bans spandex for any woman over 145 pounds.

If a private company wants to have a dress code for people using its internal benefits, why are we complaining?

This isn't a government thing.

It's a private airline that gives employees a fringe benefit in the way of travel passes, and they have a dress code for employees using those passes.

regular folks can still wear their leggings or yoga pants or whatever....

Agreed. Don't like it? Don't fly that airline.

Travel benefits are a great deal for airline employees. They can fly free, on standby, anywhere their own airline goes and can get on most other airlines for a small fraction of what regular tickets cost, again on standby. The airlines give them the benefits and the rules are very simple but they do need to be followed. The dress code is one of them. It's no big deal. The code doesn't require a suit and tie. Women don't have to wear dresses. Just wear normal, clean, decent clothes with minimal skin showing. It's what the majority of Americans wear to work every day.

All this thing is is a fake Facebook thing with 99% of the people not knowing what the truth is.

I won't.

P.

Dress code is not leggings. Dress code is agreed on before accepted tickey. No wear accepted clothing, no get tickey. No camel toe, and no short shorts for men either.
Put headscarf carry-on.

That's coming soon to an airport near you. Sooner, if you live in a demoncrap califate.

Most Americans don't like double standards. It might be different if the passengers somehow knew who was flying full fare and who had an employee discount. I don't believe they do or care. But hey, we all need a little totalitarianism in our lives, right?

They weren't bought at all, they were free. Most airlines have free travel benefits for employees and their families. As a condition of those free travel benefits there's a dress code. That dress code is in place because they don't want people traveling on free passes dressing like slobs and bringing down the image of their product. If you pay for the ticket then there's obviously a much less strict dress code because you're then a client, not someone getting something for free.

Any time an employee gets a free benefit from their employer there are usually conditions attached. If someone has a company car the company will many times let them use it for things other than work, but they're not going to let them park in front of a strip club for example. My company provides an Ipad for work and I can use it for personal reasons too, but if I'm using it to surf porn they're probably not going to like it. The kicker is that they're providing something the employee gets to use for free so they get to set the terms, just like United with their free passes.

Again, these tickets were FREE, they were not paying customers. It's clearly stated to all the employees the proper dress code for employees and their families traveling on these FREE passes. If you're a paying customer you can wear whatever you want as long as it's not obscene. If you're traveling for FREE then the airline can dictate your dress in a manner they deem appropriate. I don't see how anyone can have a problem with that.

Having a dress code for employees utilizing the company's planes at a discount, is hardly totalitatianism. Though they are not advertising they are employees, I believe the airline has a right to decide how they are represented by the employee. Don't like it, I guess you could pay full fare.

It's their airline, and their rules.

I thought most of y'all were all about businesses setting their own rules.

I guess that only applies when you happen to agree?

What Crow Hunter said. It is also NOT a double standard. The dress code applies to everybody who chooses to fly free as a company benefit.

If you argue that it's a double standard when applied to paying fliers, fine. But having some fly free is also a double standard under that argument.

Do you get a discount anywhere? Double standard.
