I am good with American Airlines setting a dress code - for non-revenue passengers or even for ALL passengers.
I guessed correctly...................
Nardia. Yup, thought so. She’s been disrespected.
One of Holder and Obama’s people.

Complaining about something you were getting for FREE.
All the wheels are coming off of this culture.
What will they do when the next attention-seeking woman or man wants to board wearing a thong, or a speedo bathing suit?
I’ve flown non-rev for years (my brother works for an airline). I ALWAYS wear long pants (usually slacks, or even coat and tie).
No food in the airport. Starving child.
Yeah I’ll share this video.

Her jeans were torn literally from her pelvis to her ankles.
How was she flying free anyway? Was she an employee?
I think the ripped jeans look I ridiculous and tacky. But, it’s a free country; if people want to dress like bums, they can. But if a company has rules prohibiting certain clothing be worn on their property, and those rules are published so they can’t be missed, they should have that right, too. I’m sure lawyers are lined up, though, to get a piece of American Airlines. I wish there were standards for practicing attorneys...
“...demanding that the airline treat her and her daughter with more respect,...”
If you want to be treated with respect, act respectable.
“Buddy Pass” or standby/non-rev... they make the rules. I’ve flown in suit and tie back when THAT was the way. They make the rule, I enjoy a benefit. I also knew the rule ahead of time. If they didn’t, then they can blame themselves.
Good on AA for not Boarding these two!
I grew up flying Non-Rev as Dad worked for AA for 42+ years. I had to wear a Suit,Tie and Dress Shoes every time we travelled. We were the last to Board the plane every time we flew. I remember one occasion that Mom and I got on last and while taxiing to wait in the takeoff que the plane returned to the gate and we had to get off to let 2 paying Customers on.
The instructions from Dad were non negotiable:
Do as asked or told by the Flight Crew.
Do not tell anybody that we were flying Non-Rev the exception being the Cabin Crew just incase they had missed that we were Non-Rev while boarding. Offer to move seats or assist the Cabin Crew in an emergency situation if needed.
When asked what meal choice always say “whatever you have the most of after serving the Paying Customers.” Even if we didn’t personally like what the food was Do Not Complain, deal with it or don’t eat. And there were more than a few times we got nothing because of a multitude of reasons.
Sit in an Emergency Exit row if possible to open the Exit if needed (plus that gave extra legroom due to it being an Emergency Exit) because then as now most people don’t listen and pay attention to the Emergency Briefing.
Stay seated until all other Passengers had deplaned no matter if we had a Connection to make or not.
There were a few times that we got seated in First Class because that’s where the seats were available. (Had to have Dress Clothes on just incase) Be prepared to move to Coach if asked or told to so Paying Customers could be upgraded during the flight if needed.
Since she’s not an employee, she’s flying under some other employee’s name. That person is pretty much screwed. Perhaps he should be.
The funniest part of her video is when she states “This is what I call discrimination against (pause while she decides which victim label will pay highest dividends) women.”
I’ve flown non-rev some. Relative works for an airline.
Sport coat used to be the minimum dress. Slacks and sport shirt ok now.
The way it was explained to me was, Non-revs are company representatives, real or perceived and should dress accordingly.
This witch was correctly refused, and the more she objects the less likely she will get on a ride.
American Airlines should do some damage control.
Step one would be to fire the employee who enabled their free travel. That would send a message to other employees who might then show a bit more discernment.
