United and yoga pants: points and miles bloggers Waterloo?
How many bloggers jumped to conclusions about the yoga pants thing?
Have so many so-called experts ever gotten something so spectacularly wrong?
To summarize: UA denied a non-rev boarding because her attire did not meet non-rev dress code. It got tweeted about by a pax. Bloggers jumped all over the story blasting UA for denying boarding to paying pax (although I suppose a couple mused about whether the pax was non-rev). Truth outs and plenty of egg on plenty of faces.
Now many defenses: blame UA twitter team. Edit original post to reduce egg to face ratio. Claim they knew it all along.
Sigh.
