United's twitter PR guy could've handled that better...

"United spokesman Jonathan Guerin said the two who were turned away were standby "pass riders," meaning they were traveling as relatives of an employee, and their "attire did not meet our [more strict] pass travel requirements. ... They are representing United Airlines.""

Another girl, roughly 10 years old, also was singled out for having on leggings, but she put on a dress from her backpack and was allowed to board, said Shannon Watts, a traveler one gate over at Denver International Airport.
This is definitely going to end badly for United.

Okay but
What the fuck United???
They don't define what strict is, as the article states.Context:

Is this passenger an employee of United? Their later responses seemed to imply they are.
If that's the case, I'm not shocked. From my understanding, if an employee is flying any using their free flight privileges, the airline will require them to dress professionally. I'm confident American has a similar policy. I've flown as a guest of an employee, and they definitely explained the dress code - especially if I were to be bumped to first class.
It would be a puzzling thing to hold a regular customer to that, though.
When I was poking around Twitter threads for this, people mentioned companion pass dress codes as surprisingly strict.
I mostly want to know if people on that style of pass would also be barred from wearing shorts--then it's less blatant sexism and more United having a dumb rule about using free employee travel.
The Middle East got competition!
