So, just prior to exiting bankruptcy DL changed thier non-rev dress code. See below will be less issues for agents, but also will make it so non-revs do not feel like they stick out when traveling.
What do you all think of the current US dress code?
Below is the announcement from DL:
Nonrevenue and Reduced Rate/Pass Travel Dress Code - Effective April 15, 2007
The Nonrev Travel dress code gives you and your pass riders the same flexibility as other passengers when deciding what to wear on your nonrev flights. The standard, which applies to all classes of service, is based on respect – for our customers and for you. Delta trusts your good judgment and knows that you will always be good and gracious hosts to our customers, whether on the job or on a nonrev trip. This means that travelers’ overall appearance should be well-groomed, neat, clean, safe and respectful, from head to toe.
In addition, allowing nonrev and pass riders to adopt the more casual dress being worn by our customers simplifies the process for our airport personnel. It prevents dress code-related confrontations at the gate which often occur in front of revenue passengers.
The basic rule is that nonrevenue or reduced-rate pass riders will not be denied boarding because of their overall appearance unless the agent would deny boarding to a revenue passenger under the same circumstances. Please note, however, that those who abuse this dress code flexibility are subject to disciplinary action. It’s your responsibility to ensure that your buddy pass riders and Family & Friends guests are aware of our standards.
Nonrevenue and Reduced-Rate Travel Guidelines
The travelers’ overall appearance should be well-groomed, neat, clean, safe and respectful, from head to toe. Simply said, if the attire is appropriate for a revenue passenger to wear, then a nonrevenue passenger can wear the same attire.
