Man Denied First Class Seat on United

IF he had worn a long blond wig,he would've gotten on....(gotta be on the bald,,,err,,I mean BALL)

Maybe the ticket agent bought a new "used" computer , and decided to wreak vengeance?

Well he should have been denied just for being a worthless yuppie.

oh i'll bet they took his money first,............

i'll bet they took his money first............

Next week they will be showing up in a house coat and slippers to take a plane ride - after that a hospital gown with the back open. The attire of many people in public places is horrible. It could be the decline in standards and expectations we have within ourselves (basically lazy slugs). Or perhaps their parents were non-pulsed in their childrens tasteless clothing selections while growing up.

Or Corporate America is finally tired of being told what to wear and are rejecting all "business dress" standards. Everyone should wear what they want and express themselves, and it should be a universal and inalienable right, like breathing. Homos can marry, but people cannot wear what they want.

Uh oh, Dianetics-cretin, talibangelical skank is at it again!

Praiz jeebus, the loons!

Purple Girl,

I have no idea what "Corporate America" you belong in but I work in a place where they enforce appropiate attire. You can revolt and wear a Burka, Granny Dress or Daisy Dukes but if you look like a slob you get treated like a slob. That has been the case throughout history. When I go to a public place and see old food stains on clothes, holes in faded undersized/oversized tee shirts, pants that drag down to a persons knees or so tight I can see the celluite through them I believe that person needs to get a grip on reality.

Maybe you can audit me. Whatever you Dianetics creeps do. You know where to shove the e-meter. And why would I mess with Dianetics if the Southern Baptist Convention is strong enough for me? You call me a skank, but you don't like me calling gay people the slang word for a cigarette. Go figure. But you cannot get my go anymore, so look for someone else to stalk and bully.

Today should be a day for me to spend catching up on making jewelry. Interestingly, guess which bracelets got gone the quickest? The rainbow ones. I guess it is time to make more.

It is only "dressing as slob" if you define it as such. That is all what imposed dress is about, imposing your labels about what people "should wear" and your opinions onto others.

i don't like flying in the cattle car section. i buy first class because of the xtra room and better service. i also tend to fly wearing very casual clothes.. pressed jeans,black tee shirt, leather jacket. it's not a fashion statement, it's comfort during the ordeal of a cross country flight.

Ha!!!
That's a great response!

Our corporate executives are encouraged to dress down during first class flights. Whenever we fly, it is because they don't want us driving more than five hours. We go first class especially on international flights.
If anyone has spent alot of hours in a plane, you want to be able to remove your shoes quickly, wear something that doesn't make your feet swell in high altitudes, and dress comfortably so you are refreshed for a meeting. You would burn up and sweat in a suit.

Wait...you mean we don't? Uh, I'll be right back I uh....I have to uhm..go check the mail. Yes, I need to check the mail now.

If he was wearing what he is pictured in or something similar, I see nothing wrong with it. I have seen people with MUCH worse attire sitting in the first class section on United.

I like tp wear a face mask, cough a lot and occasionally let it fall to the floor.

He looked fine to me...
The only dress code stated was that you couldn't be barefoot then this man should not have been denied seating. Its not like he was overweight, smelt bad, or had stained up/ripped up clothing on.
If your money is good you should be able to ride wherever you'd like-bottom line....

It wasn't that long ago that everybody, and I mean everybody, dressed for a funeral when they flew. What's next, nuduty?

Wait, it's already happened
