United Crew Enforces 'Offensive Clothing' Clause in Contract of Carriage

A United flight attendant cited the airline's contract of carriage to deem a passenger's 'lesbian as sh*t' shirt offensive, sparking a viral debate on the enforcement of United's dress code policy

What happened

A United Airlines flight attendant reportedly called out a passenger for wearing a 'lesbian as sh*t' shirt, citing the airline's contract of carriage which grants the right to remove passengers whose clothing is 'lewd, obscene or offensive.' The incident, shared on X, has gone viral with nearly 2 million views. While the author of the source article disagrees with the specific wording used, they argue the enforcement is correct because the word 'sh*t' fits the definition of offensive in a family environment. This highlights the active application of United's dress code policy, which can be used to require passengers to change or face removal
