United and Yoga Pants

This was exploding on social media this morning but it turns out that these passengers were in violation of the non rev dress code.

Someone is going to be losing their non rev benefits methinks! DOH!

"Buddy passes? Oh, I signed up NOT to ever get those things man, you gotta ask someone else"

I saw that. Twitter went off! Lol.... I don't think the person will lose their privileges since it wasn't them acting up. Rather, it's the general public.

It's a nice demonstration of how a corporation's social media interaction should not be.

Twitter yoga pants going viral is making as much of a mountain out of as little as a molehill as you can get. (it's 2017, nobody cares if a pass rider is wearing yoga pants)

To be fair, given the amount of people nonreving with their company ID hanging off their neck, I can assume most employees have never read the rules themselves let alone discussed them with their teenage passriders.

and to be fair, the company did this themselves by responding with the 'contract of carriage' line.

I also think what really set the twitterverse off was the fact that the girls were young.

Let me be the judge of who shall wear yoga pants.

How is this an issue? I was told to wear mine when JS or NR flying.

Because most company guides say NOT to wear an ID when nonreving.

Nope, the Employee's are held accountable for anyone non-rev'ing under their name/ employee number.

I think you missed my point. The backlash isn't coming from those non-revving. It's coming from the general public. If they were denied and didn't make a scene, that's not their fault.

Don't worry Chrissy Teigan and Patricia Arquette diverted their attention away from Don Trump long enough to come to the girls rescue on twitter-verse.

The gist? This policy is an attack on womanhood!

Who put the robot lawyer in charge of social media?

 

[FlyingAccountant]

This wouldn't have even be an issue if some faux social media celebrity hadn't witnessed the event and Tweeted about it.

The wearing of yoga pants should be encouraged, not denied.

It comes down to United and if they want to take action. Rules were broken, period.

As an employee, it is your responsibility to make sure that any pass rider that is traveling under your name/ employee number knows and follows the rules as they are outlined in the employee travel guide that i'm sure every airline has and publishes to their employees.

Even though they didn't start the commotion, they are still the root cause of this PR issue and therefore the employee COULD be subject to disciplinary action against their benefits.

Delta tells us (9E) to not wear the ID when non revving. I never wear the ID in the airport when I non rev. It just draw unnecessary attention. It only comes out when I go through KCM/security then gets put away once I'm done with security.
