sidsmom, I do think such issues can be worth the time given by pundits, if only because it was one of those things, apparently, that got taken up by the "twitterverse" and others as a cause celebre.  Evidently someone overheard the issue being discussed among the parties, and took umbrage and then was berating the airline, etc.

Opens up the whole fascinating discussion of "rights" versus "discretion" and "adherence to standards" issue.  I think those can be quite fruitful to explore, if all parties are able to hang on to their conversational decorum!

True, but the 'uneducated' in this matter are trying to make this

a sexist issue....when it has nothing to do w/ the fact they were 

females being denied boarding.

Yes.   We know what the dress code is and that it must be followed or be denied boarding.  A very small price to pay for the benefits. No problem at all.

No shorts when flying to Hawaii. So what - I wear pants!

Rules are rule.  You don't like them?  Fly Southwest.

I don't understand what there is to discuss. The rules are straight forward. If you don't like them ,buy your own ticket.

I get sick of all the winging ,over nothing ,by some people. No one is forced to accept a free ticket. Make a stand on your own dime, if you don't like the conditions

If rules were rules, America would still be under the rule of the UK monarchy.

I think they should honor the rules or pay full price.... on the other hand, rules were meant to be broken (wink).😜

As an employee or employees family member, you are representing the airline when flying on free or discount tickets.  I imagine the employee knows the rules that go with the ticket when accepting it.  When I fly for work, I haven't wear business casual.  I know its the rule and just do it.  It never crossed my mind to wear whatever I want.

Their Airline, their rules. 

People can just walk away and use another airline.
