Don't wear leggings on United Airlines!

[Ethical_Slut]

You were warned!

"United Airlines is facing backlash from customers after two girls wearing leggings were denied entry onto a flight because a gate agent deemed their attire improper.

The incident, documented on Twitter by Colorado resident and gun-law activist Shannon Watts, took place in the waiting area outside of a gate for a flight to Minneapolis at Denver International Airport."

Stockings would be fine just the air stewardess

"United spokesman Jonathan Guerin said the two who were turned away were standby “pass riders,” meaning they were traveling as relatives of an employee, and their “attire did not meet our [more strict] pass travel requirements. ... They are representing United Airlines.”

I don't wear leggings, but I'm still certainly not using UA.

I think it also definitely falls from the Lit-Recommended airlines of choice.

"United spokesman Jonathan Guerin said the two who were turned away were standby “pass riders,” meaning they were traveling as relatives of an employee, and their “attire did not meet our [more strict] pass travel requirements. ... They are representing United Airlines.”

I think it's BS anyway. Also, the girls are 10 and 11 years old.

 

[Typo Fu Master]

I see women at work wearing leggings all the time. Our dress code forbids inappropriate clothing so apparently they're ok. I haven't heard anyone bitching about them but don't let anyone try to wear short shorts.

 

[Liar]

Me wearing leggings would be aesthetic terrorism. And terrorists generally aren't welcome on flights.

No, they are not paying customers, adding revenue to the airline's bank account. They are taking part in a benefit for employees.

Pass riders’ overall appearance should be well-groomed, neat, clean and in good taste.

Attire should be respectful of fellow revenue passengers, employees and pass riders
Pass riders may wear denim attire (such as jeans), shorts that are no more than three inches above the knee and athletic shoes when traveling in Coach or Business cabin.

The following attire is unacceptable in any cabin but is not limited to:

Any attire that reveals a midriff.
Attire that reveals any type of undergarments.
Attire that is designated as sleepwear, underwear, or swim attire.
Mini Skirts
Shorts that do not meet 3 inches above the knee when in a standing position.
Form-fitting lycra/spandex tops, pants and dresses.
Attire that has offensive and/or derogatory terminology or graphics.
Attire that is excessively dirty or has holes/tears.
Any attire that is provocative, inappropriately revealing, or see-through clothing.
Bare feet
Beach-type, rubber flip-flops

(Maybe, they should update the list. A jet is not a church.)

We must not allow Sharia law to rule over our Constitutional right to travel by commercial airlines!

Will they allow clothing that's opaque to X-rays?

I've seen some inappropriate and excessively overtight leggings on young girls before, but board rules say the whys can't be discussed. Not saying that's what happened, but then you get into the, "is this legging okay, but that one is not?"

Trying to fight against company stated policy on correct attire for a free ride is just silly.

 

[EternalFantasies]

Yes, he was allowed on:

Damn. Can't fly US Air either.

Last time I flew I had to get last minute flights and had separate seats from my kids. One was about ten rows behind me. As I stood up to peek back (yes I'm short enough to stand up under the luggage bin), I see this fat fuck dude sitting next to my boy with his shirt off. I called the stewardess right over and asked her to tell the perv to put his shirt back on.

Actually, they shouldn't wear them and many airlines have put that in their dress code. In case of fire the nylon would melt to their legs.

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

Good point. Considering how pricey it is, to fly. Living it up, and a slouching slob pose on the customer's dime would not go down well.

But, still. They were young. It is not as if a woman was flaunting herself.

 

[someoneyouknow]

EF above pointed out the guy who wore practically nothing on a United Airlines flight a few days before. Something not mentioned so far are:

1) the father was wearing shorts

2) the rule about what is acceptable for pass passengers cites skirts and tops that reveal a midriff and Lycra/Spandex tops, pants and dresses — items, one might argue, likeliest to be worn only by women. The passengers may wear denim.

3) these were 10 & 11 year old kids

Apparently, as mentioned above, Christian-Sharia law is coming into effect in this country.

P.S. I do think people should have some consideration for what they wear. Looking presentable isn't that difficult nor must it be uncomfortable. Then again, considering how obnoxious more and more people are becoming, I guess it's just a pie-in-the-sky fantasy to expect them to care how they look.

 

[Ethical_Slut]

How do other passengers know they are traveling on staff pass tickets? Unless any perks are being obviously withheld which would suggest unsubtly by crew it should not be very apparent to other passengers; if it were it would seem other passengers might feel service to them were somehow compromised.

I thought the same thing.

I agree.

Some airlines will fly nudists.

I wonder if there was a combination group of nudists that sky dive and jump when they fly over their destination.

They are obliged to board and depart clothed.
