I think it says a lot about a person that their husband sexting a fifteen year old isn’t a deal breaker.

yeah, I’m majorly side-eyeing her right now. It’s one thing to want to stay even after cheating with other adults. Sure, work it out. Good luck. But another thing entirely to have sexted a 15 year-old! That is when you shut it the fuck down. And I get that just shutting off feelings is not always possible immediately…

Yes, let’s hope that people are not conflating revenue passengers with seating priority.

I had sympathy for her up until this. He contacted an underage girl. He doesn’t care about other people. He is a predator. Now she is deciding to get involved with a predator because he was “under pressure.”

You are wrong. The dress code for paying customers does not ban leggings. The dress code for people flying on an employee pass specifically bans clothing like leggings. This is not that hard.

The policy specifically prohibits leggings.

Employees with uniforms being required to be dressed smart-casual+ when using staff services (air staff on jump-seats etc) is totally, completely, and utterly standard, and the same for next-of-kin extensions.

I a am a United Pass Traveller. When you are signed onto the employees benefits, you are made well-aware of the requirements when accepting this pretty sweet deal. This is a non-story.

right, this is news to people who never knew there was a dress code for airline employees. the person tweeting about this (SURPRISE!) didn’t understand the fucking policy, immediately saw sexism, and went straight to the rage machine. the parent should have known the rules before she got to the airport.

My husband’s grandpa worked for American airlines and they flew standby as kids all the time. They dressed up. It was required because you may end up traveling in first class. These folks were flying for almost free. People feel so entitled. I dress comfy to fly because the airline industry makes flying extremely…

I have a lot of friends who work for airlines and fly standby often, and there is an expectation that you dress business casual if you’re flying for free. If the rule state no leggings, I’m not sure why people are freaking out about this. I would be happy to wear pants if it meant I flew free.

What a click bait headline! The subsequent info from United clarifies that these girls were NOT paying passengers but, as I used to be, traveling “non-revenue, space available”. Back in the dark ages of my youth, we actually had to wear stockings.

Yeah, so employees and their families should dress as befits the standards of the company for whom they are employed, which is also paying for them to fly? QUEL SUPRISE!!!!

When my sister worked for United, we all had and followed the dress code for people getting basically free flights. And often, she and her kids would end up in first class. I really don’t see anything wrong with this policy. The passengers using the pass should have been aware of it too and dressed appropriately. …

Well that story went from “OUTRAGEOUS!” to “Yeah, OK, reasonable.” very quickly.

Why the fuck would anyone have a song that was called “Tears in Heaven” at their wedding? I remember when that happened and it was like the saddest thing in the fucking world. Like, you would have had to have lived in a cave not to know that or to not have seen/ heard Eric Clapton’s “Unplugged.”

The same thing happened to U2 and One. Everyone thinks it’s a hippie love song. It’s not. It’s about a gay man who’s dying of AIDS angrily confronting his homophobic, estranged father.

I want Closer by Nine Inch Nails at my wedding.

I’ve been to two weddings where the groom’s surname was Jones and both of them had their first dance to well-known adulterers’s anthem, Me and Mrs Jones. People. Do. Not. Listen.

And the people who dedicate Pearl Jam’s cover of Last Kiss to their sweetie on the radio. The girl dies. That’s the point.
