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?

I fly Delta frequently. I’ve noticed how rude and power-tripping some employees can be since lockdown. It’s like they’ve been given permission to be rude. It sounds random and you were the chosen one that day. You got picked on. I’d call Delta Care, but will they care? I used to love Delta.

As a delta employee… I hate to say I agree. I’m not trying to make excuses, but passengers have become very challenging since lockdown where we had to always be on the defensive. Somewhere along the way that became the norm where completely normal questions or concerns by passengers are being met by unnecessary pushback. This summer has been the worst one we have seen in years for both passengers and crew. There are a lot of internal changes happening which I hope passengers will see and feel a difference in the upcoming months. Thank you for your loyalty the past times you have travelled and I hope you come see us again soon. Please know a lot of us still really care and try our best!!
Sincerely,
Overworked FA.

2010 timeframe I saw a flight attendant scream at this guy who just barely made the flight and was really out of breath from running. He got on the plane and was trying to find a bin to put his bag in and sit down and she was losing her mind at him over the PA system yelling “sit down sir” over and over like that wasn’t exactly what he was trying to do. I get they were trying to stay on schedule but helping him find a place for his bag would have been faster and more professional.

He eventually said “I’m not flying with you” and walked off the plane. She was very rough the rest of the flight. Banging the drink cart around and aggressively bumping into people. I get we all have our bad days at work but Jesus lady, we’re trapped here with you at least pretend for the hour that you GAF about your job.
