this is fake news. Headline should read: Girls Break United Free Pass Rules and are Barred From Flight. But that's not newsworthy

They were children. Traveling with their dad. He was ok to get on with shorts. The children were turned down for tights. Ridiculous.
-
Also, they changed clothes and got on the flight.
-
Yes one put a dress on. Just like the polygamy compound.
-
Also polygamy and flying for free are not the same thing...
-
Having young girls dress like they came off the compound is sexist. Would they force boys to put on a dress? The policy is wrong. And sexist
-
A boy could wear a dress. Dress code is not gender specific.

they were non-rev passengers who didn't comply with the non-rev dress code. they changed and flew later http://www.flyzed.info/UA#heading-5

United should have handled this quietly, privately. Gate agent made it a public display & story takes on a life of its own.
-
United did try to handle it privately at the gate
@shannonrwatts chose to turn it into a story. helped by United PR mishandling -
But that's the problem. Everything you do in the open at an airport is public. Airlines should realize that & be proactive.
-
you mean like proactively telling employees the non-rev dress code, and telling them to make sure all travelers comply?
-
I'm saying this should never have been handled in plain view of hundreds of other United passengers. Stupid.
-
and yet if everyone had followed the dress code this wouldn't even be a news story. but i guess ppl don't have responsibility?
-
Yes, obviously the biggest fault is with the employee who didn't follow the rules.

saying they can't wear leggings is like saying that united sees them as sexual objects not just girls being comfortable
-
Dress code says no tight fitting spandex or lycra tops or bottoms.
-
and likely no jeans etc. All airlines have rules like this, it is a click bait headline.
-
No jeans if you want to nonrev in First Class. Jeans are fine for coach.

I thought they were teens?
-
family of staff have the same standard of dress as employees
-
yes, I am aware. What does that have to do with my comment?
-
Maybe I misunderstood. But teens traveling on complimentary staff travel have a different standard than general public
-
their headline said “women”, that’s all I was commenting on.

10-4 .. a little naughty on NYT part
