I apologize in advance if my wearing shorts and sandals offends anyone in F--but as has been said, I paid for the ticket. I'm polite, well groomed and I have good manners--my "uniform" is just different from others.
If it's a long flight, I wear my pajamas in F. And of course, it's allowed on UA.
On other carriers, like BA, SQ, NH, etc.--wearing pajamas in F is not just allowed, it's encouraged...they'll even provide the pajamas for free! LOL.
So, I agree that if someone was booted for jeans, it was probably a non-rev. Though, I wouldn't be totally shocked if a particular GA decided to go on an inappropriate, unauthorized power trip and enforced a dress code against upgraders, just because the GA knows that she can escape disciplinary action.
