Girls banned for wearing leggings on UA News Story
« on: March 27, 2017, 10:53:12 AM »
Why are people not understanding that these girls were not typical passengers? Is the buddy pass concept that hard to understand?

It's righteous anger. Also the thread title is misleading. It should say girls not following non revenue dress code not allowed to board due to not following known and agreed upon rules.

I couldn't fit it all in there, but unlike most of the media outlets, I didn't proceed to harp on the misconstrued facts that the title may have led you towards. I promptly clarified that in my post.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Still really dumb United policy, who cares if it's a rule, if it's a stupid rule.

But all I want to do is go by the superficial surface and not ensure my righteous anger is in fact appropriate! Therefore your wrong! I'm. Gonna get everyone to back me up!

Beggars can't be choosy.

United can make them wear a giant Pokémon costume if they like.

This is a non-story that celebrities decided to tweet about. Once United clarified, these idiotic celebrities couldn't walk back their stupidity, so they shoved their feet deeper into their mouths.

+1 my policy was always, if I pay I choose. If they are paying for your your flight, they choose the rules.

Be careful because even if you pay they can still not allow you to board at the agents discretion.

True. My point was that when you receive something for free, if it comes with strings you can't complain.

No disagreement on that statement. But I wouldn't call it all manufactured outrage. The fact is that the rules themselves seem to be focused primarily and unfairly on girls, such that (as in this case) the father can wear shorts but the girls can't wear leggings. An unbiased observer would probably feel that a girl in leggings is at least as appropriately attired if not more so than a man in shorts. They have the right to set their own rules, and those who disagree with those rules have the right to say so. That's why it's not the girls themselves who are complaining here but others who are disturbed by the rules
Don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers

Give me a break. Shorts are sometimes considered formal dress for men. Police officers around the country wear shorts. Furthermore, dress codes will always impose more restrictions on women and girls because men have a very limited array of fashion. For men, it's either a button-down shirt or a T-shirt, Jeans vs dress pants and shoes vs slippers. Only hillbilly men wear sleeveless T-shirts, and only gay men wear very tight clothing. Women can wear anything from ten different types of jeans, long skirts, short skirts, mini skirts, one-piece dresses, one-piece party dresses, tank tops, LEGGINGS, tights, socks, shirts with high necklines, shirts with "low" necklines, tight clothing, very tight clothing, very very tight clothing etc.

Do I even need to explain the obvious? This is FAUX outrage of the highest order. You are flying free, shut up and wear what they tell you to wear.

I would, but we can't afford to start new wars now, what with North Korea and all those nuclear threats. Not sure America has the bandwidth to fight both at the same time.  ;D

Admit it, your post was just an expression of your jealousy of those possessing the courage you lack to wear cycling shorts in public.
