United and Yoga Pants

Geeze this whole thing is stupid. I feel bad for the employee about to lose their flight benefits over this. Honestly this is such a non issue, the gate agent asked the girls to change, the girls changed...should have been the end of the story.
 
Frankly, I think the dress codes for nonrevs should apply to all passengers. But, then again, how would I ever have things to look at on the passenger shaming instagram if people acted respectfully? ;) Yet another social media windstorm by ignorant celebrities that draw conclusions rather than get the actual facts.

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.

Could, but I don't think United would do that....maybe when Smisek was around.

This nightmare is exactly why employees are reluctant to dish out buddy passes.

Right now, their focus would be to repair this minor damage with the public since the media has picked up on it and reported it.

They have nothing to repair. The true story was released, correcting the assumptions people made.

Worldwide media, actually; the BBC has put this on their front page.

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

I wear it occasionally, I almost always jumpseat OAL and always in business casual, so I like wearing it when I introduce myself to the captain. Especially if the gate agent is kind of...douchey....

Only time mine is out. If I need to catch the jump seat instead of a ride in the back I like to stick out a little for the flight crew. Other than that it's in my pocket or getting my discount at Caribou Coffee!
 
I started non-reving back in 1990 when I started turning wrenches at UAL, back when a lot of you were still in short pants and airplanes still had flight engineers. Way back then in the olden days the dress code for non-revs was as such. To ride in first class men had to be in coat and tie, period. Coat no tie? To the back you went, if there was a seat. Tie and no coat? No first class for you!. Women had to wear a dress, a blouse and skirt or pants suit, hose and no open toed shoes with sensible heels. To ride in the back men had to wear a collared shirt and slacks. Women had to wear dress pants and blouses with sleeves, no bare arms. Denim in any color was verboten. The gate agents wielded A LOT of power in those days but to be honest, no one really bitched about it. Most realised that it was a privilege to non-rev and not a right. We also had paper tickets, had to list over the phone and literally had no idea what the loads were but that's a story for another time.

All of that but the paper tickets and phone call(not sure I even remember what that is), sound just fine.
