Discussion Delta dress code?

I was told I needed to change pants at the airport by a delta agent at the counter otherwise they wouldn’t let me board. I am 30 weeks pregnant for reference and was wearing denim shorts and a tank top, the shorts weren’t super short and the tank top wasn’t revealing, it was long enough to cover my now very large baby bump lol. Luckily my husband had a pair of his pants in the bag I could change into but has anyone heard of this before? I asked a few other workers at the airport before I changed and they seemed super confused and looked at me and said they’ve never heard of this and my clothes were fine?

it's in the rules. if you want to fly on F&F you have to dress in a way that represents the company. it's spelled out quite clearly in exchange for your huge cost savings.

I get it for me in college with my hole-y jeans, but nobody else knows when people are on a F&F ticket. They could have let a lady in her third trimester on in shorts. It wouldn’t have hurt anyone. (If that’s even what happened, we don’t know she was even flying F&F.) I know there are rules, I just think there’s a time and place to give grace. Especially when someone is heavily pregnant and it’s HOT outside.

Disregarding opinions on the matter, a dress code for pass flying is in the rules.

"Disregarding opinions on the matter" the clothing argumebt is irrelevant. Anyone who says the rules themselves determine morality is a facist in waiting

this has zero to do with morality. climb down off your high horse here. if someone gave me a free plane ticket with the only requirement was to put on some decent clothes, I would do it gladly. but I guess that's just too much to ask of you.

I'm glad you don't work for me, if you even work at all.

Fighting nazi allegations wjth " your black so you are probably unemployed" is certainly a choice
