[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]United is suffering from Trump-like stupidity at its helm.

I think they also forbid 12 year girls from boarding the plane because they were wearing leggings?

That was a totally different situation and one that was understandable.  The girls were riding on a “buddy pass” which has dress codes for people traveling using it.  
We have used a buddy pass before and were told by the person providing it that we had to dress a certain way.  Those are the rules.

They didn’t handle this one well.  It should have all been taken care of at the gate, before anyone boarded.

And, BTW, nice political reference there.   :roll:   Do you throw out politics with every post you make?

Can you explain this further? What is a "buddy pass" and why is the dress code different for those passengers?  What else is forbidden besides leggings?![/quote]

[quote]Discounted or nearly-free flight tickets available to airline employees.  Typically, buddy passes are restricted to the employee’s immediate family members, although some airlines also allow buddy passes to be given to friends as well.  The person(s) receiving the buddy passes must typically be registered with the airline as one of the employee’s designated recipients.[/quote]

This site lists the dress code:  http://heavy.com/news/2017/03/united-airlines-dress-code-spandex-leggings/

[/quote]. How come the girls' father wearing shorts was allowed through?[/quote]

If you read the link, shorts are allowed as long as they are a certain length. [/quote]

Of course they are, because it's ok to police women's bodies, not men's. The rules are discriminatory. I'm all for modest and professional clothing, but if the requirements are unequal, they need to be scrapped.[/quote]
