Delta Relaxed it's Non-Rev Dress Code

[DrewBlows]

Effective Sunday, April 15 Delta has relaxed it's non-revenue dress code policy to the same standard as revenue passengers. This applies to all Delta and Delta Connection Flights. Jumpseaters still have to dress "business casual". This means you will see (and be able to wear) shorts, jeans, tank-tops, and flip-flops in first class.

The policy is meant to reduce gate conflicts with non-rev passengers so employees can spend more time with revenue passengers. This was posted on the Comair employee website, so I'm not going to post it here, but it's 100% true.

Can you imagine. Is this a really good idea for paying passengers who must look at these folks in flip flops and t-shirts with advertising? Not that all revenue passengers in Business Elite or first class look that great anyway, but this is unreasonable.

Why have a double standard for employees? Why not require a dress code from everyone or no one. The customers can't really tell who is non-reving. Unless they're making out with a passenger.

ATL employees need a double standard.

There is a lot of stuff on Flightinfo you don't need to know. Do you feel obligated to respond to all of them?

Relaxed dress code allows you to travel in comfort

Beginning Sunday, you really can sit back, relax, and enjoy your flight. Our Nonrev and Reduced-Rate Travel Dress Code now gives you and your pass riders the same flexibility as other passengers when deciding what to wear on your nonrev flights. And Global Product Development is announcing that nonrevs now can purchase annual Crown Room Club memberships and visit the clubs when traveling.

“We’re listening to Delta people and making changes to fit our people and our business,” said Mike Campbell, e.v.p.-Human Resources and Labor Relations. “Our passengers don’t base their travel attire on a formal dress code. It just makes sense to give our people that same flexibility.”

The standard, which applies to all classes of service, is based on respect – for our customers and for you, Mike said. “We have the most professional men and women in the industry,” he said. “We trust their judgment every day.” The change also simplifies things for frontline personnel. It eliminates the role of dress code compliance from their duties and gives them more time to focus on our customers.

This means that travelers’ overall appearance should be well-groomed, neat, clean, safe and respectful. Simply said, if the attire is appropriate for a revenue passenger, then a nonrevenue passenger could wear it too. This new relaxed dress code applies to travel on Delta mainline, Comair, and Delta Connection carrier flights. However, if you plan to travel in the jump seat, and you are not wearing your uniform, please refer to departmental requirements.

Another new and relaxing choice formerly reserved only for customers is Crown Room Club memberships. The clubs are offering one-year memberships to Delta and Delta Technology employees and retirees on a trial basis. From Sunday through May 15, you can purchase a membership at the customer rates. The general individual membership is $400 (plus the $50 initiation fee), but there are variations in price depending on SkyMiles Medallion status. The current offer is limited to 5,000 memberships. This number may be expanded in the future.

Don't pay too much attention to spudknocker. He's pissed about spending 20 days a month away in ICN on those long haul trips for Southern Air!
If you'll also recall, he's quite the fan of gay jets!
