You are continuing to quote your document as opposed to anything relevant such as an actual AA non-rev policy or an actual and current policy for interns.
P.S. I hate the phrase "#FakeNews " but it really is appropriate here as it's very misleading to continue to cite a document that has no relevance to the airline's policy for non-rev dress or the airline's policy for interns.

As everyone hear clearly knows, the non-rov dress policy shifted a year ago and a document clearly dated "2012" would be obsolete no matter what.

In any case, as I said, you're entitled to your opinion. Perhaps you can arrange to acquire a pass from a friend who's an AA employee. Then try to fly on it wearing short, cutoff jeans (without her rant, of course!
) and let us know how it goes.

This is the language from the March 2018 edition of the American Airlines employees Travel Guide:
Dress guidelines while traveling
For most of us, being comfortable in flight extends to the clothes we wear. American doesn’t have a prescribed dress code for our non-revenue guests. So, as long as your clothing is neat and clean and doesn’t offend or distract, you’re good to fly in any class (including premium cabins). If you’re looking for more specifics, here are a few:If you’re traveling for the company, business or business casual clothing is encouraged. And, jumpseat riders should consult their operating department, Flight Manual or leader for dress guidelines.

- When we say offensive or distractive, we mean you shouldn’t wear anything that’s overly revealing (like super short shorts or something that is sheer or see through). That also extends to swimwear or sleepwear (of course it’s always okay to change into your American-provided pajamas if you’re lucky to snag a First Class seat on a premium international flight!)
- It also means to avoid any attire that is vulgar or violates community standards of decency
- When in doubt, ask yourself, “Do I blend in with customers?” If so, you’re probably set

That does display the current policy and it fully supports what I said about jeans and sneakers. What was linked to in the 2012 document was clearly out of date. It’s not a matter of opinion. It’s a matter of AA current policy.

@jspira is correct. Intern dress standards from six years ago have nothing to do with today's non-rev dress code.

If "do I blend in with customers" is the standard, then it's abundantly clear that jspira is on the right side of this argument.

Yup, and if "do I blend in with customers" is the new standard, then the woman who is the subject of this entire thread was prevented from boarding the flight from MIA to JFK for a reason other than her clothes......especially at a gate in MIA.

I just checked with a friend. One way KIN-MIA-JFK/LGA is $250 in F/J or $218 in Y plus $91 imputed income for the employee.
In my book, considering all the hassle involved in non-rev travel, D3 travel is simply not worth that kind money for that itinerary (a D3 passenger's chances of getting into a premium cabin are slim to none).

....and if you paid your cousin $50 ...
that being said, walk up fares tomorrow on JetBlue range from 517 to 761 so it still might be a savings

Look at.the video, friends. She wasn’t wearing jeans as much as she was wearing tattered strips and remnants of what had once been jeans, revealing her thighs (as she states in the video, iirc). I’ve seen a number of homeless / Street people better dressed. I understand why she was turned down - and might she even have been turned down as a revenue passenger?
As for a KIN Gate Agent being terminated, none of us are aware of the reason(s) nor what previous disciplinary actions might have been in her personnel record. .

The woman definitely has issues. A commenter on OMAAT shared a link to a radio show in Kingston, NY where she was interviewed about an incident in Dunkin Donuts where she claimed an employee stole $20.00 from her. I guess that was ‘t worth live Facebooking.
Is there any kind of document a non rev has to sign that states they will behave? Maybe there should be.
