In reply to Cheyenne Taylor. @david kim really david, really? nothing prompted that what-so-ever, that comment speaks volumes more about yourself than it ever could about her

Read the entire story! She was an employee. She’s supposed to represent the airlines. They asked her to change or not fly with them.

If the ladies wear leggings or yoga pants, less chance of carry a weapon on the plane.

leggings are not pants second they also don’t allow small bottles of shampoo , nail clippers, etc on any flight. not to mention a lot of flight are cold in flight. it is up to you if you want to catch a cold. on a airplane i want to be comfortable too but you dont see males in their underwear and socks on the airplane.

But Hannah, You as a customer, don’t have the same restrictions as employees…

It does sound like the rules they had back in the day in high school.

And, by the way John, you’re also not allowed to stick your pencil in Peter’s ear and try to reach the other side.

In reply to BlackFox. shorts are not business casual and shorts are allowed.

The dress code for people using the employee pass is not new, I flew on an employee pass as a kid and I was made to wear dress slacks, and a tie. The whole idea is to dress business casual, and I don’t see spandex as being business casual attire. The real topic here that should be discussed is the manufactured outrage. A business casual dress code seems like a fair exchange for a free flight.

How is telling someone not to wear leggings sexualizing? That is ridiculous

People using employee passes or buddy passes on airlines have to follow a dress code. This has been going on for decades. As a college student using a buddy pass back in the 90s, I was told that I was not even allowed to wear blue jeans. I had to wear a dress or slacks to achieve a professional look. Anyone who is flying on a buddy pass or employee pass is representing the airline even in an unofficial capacity. They want the look of their employees to be of a certain decorum. It’s their right to enforce their own rules. This is NOTHING new.

so they want employees and their friends and family members to represent the airline properly. nothing wrong with that. but as long as the person is not working but actually going on holiday or something, I first of all couldn’t care less about what they’re doing or wearing, and also i wouldn’t recognise a stewardess if she wasn’t working and wearing her uniform.

The company has a policy that states that any person that is flying on a buddy pass has to follow their dress code.
If these girls did not want to follow the policy then they should have paid full price for their tickets like the rest of the passengers. PERIOD!

In reply to gerble36. It would be sexist if the rule was 'all *women* should wear a bra'

In reply to gerble36. I know some men that need to wear a bra...

If the rules apply to men and women, why is it sexist? They only gave examples of it happening to females, but I’m sure there are guys that have been refused too in other instances. People need to stop and learn what sexism really is. News flash, it isn’t sexist when the rules apply to both genders. But if you are representing the company you are working for that’s giving you the cheap flight, it is well within the rights of them to expect you present yourself professionally.

In reply to William. William Damron - Exactly. And according to the news segment, they were told more than once what the dress code was. Plus they were LEGGINGS not yoga pants. Some leggings aren't thicker than tights and fits more like tights.

If they are representing the company, it should be the company’s rules since they are getting a discounted/free ticket

6:05 Yes Hannah, John is telling you what women love. You don’t have to say “thank you” though, seeing as how you don’t represent all women, and may not be included in with the women being referenced. Also John may identify as a woman, so John may be speaking on the issue as a woman. How dare you try to silence a “woman’s” (or anyone’s) opinion. Smh and you say feminism is about equality for ALL, yet you discriminate and shame others that don’t fit into your box of traditionalism or what YOU deem appropriate.
You have no credibility being outraged at united airlines when you’re just as or even more biased than they are.

John’s obviously an expert in the yoga pants women are wearing. Spends most of his day appreciate this attire

I flew on family pass all over the world. I went to Hawaii to Japan, back to Hawaii and back home to SF for $15 last time. First class the whole way. As much as I enjoy women in spandex and yoga pants etc., just follow the rules. Plus I’m from the old school and feel that you should dress nice on a plane.

You’re not an employee though Hannah, so it really shouldn’t matter. It makes sense if the passengers are using an employee pass for flight that they should abide the rules that have been established. I wouldn’t wear strictly leggings and show midriff in an office setting…

she was taking advantage of a almost free flight as a close member of her family worked for the airline. They knew that there were dresscodes and chose not to. This was totally her fault

By: Jacob Powers

Jacob Powers — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

the airline has the right to deny customers and they had a dress code which they failed to follow.
