Did United Airlines Lose Twitter War After Winning Dress-Code Battle?
ResumeOn Sunday morning a United Airlines agent barred two teenagers from a flight for wearing leggings. A traveler witnessed the girls being turned away and tweeted about it. The woman happened to have a big Twitter following, and the post went viral.
