There actually is a reason for the differing airline pass travel dress codes. For employees who represent the airlines, they require business casual attire or better so that you appear clean-cut and professional looking. For non-employee pass travelers, however, they don't want you to stand out; they prefer you to blend in with the passengers. That's why the dress codes for guest passes are more relaxed than dress codes for employees. The airlines don't want revenue passengers to complain that there are a bunch of travelers flying for free on the same flight they paid for.

You are completely missing the point. Only pilots are allowed to ride the Jumpseat. I am NOT referring to pilots nor myself. I'm merely making the point that if revenue customers have a dress code, which they do, then it should be good enough for non-rev passengers.

Don't like it it? fine. Do whatever you want and deal with the logical outcome of you decisions.

Nope, you are still missing the point. I'll assume it's because I wasn't clear in attempt to make it succinct. But I'll try again. Why does an airline make it an issue to make sure its employees and their family are in any dress code that is different from any other paying passengers? Is it really because they feel it's something they are giving to their employees and so therefore they are just going to make other different rules? Is it really just animus towards their employees? Or can they just have the same dress code for everyone? If it's ok for a paying passenger to be in the airplane with leggings, shouldn't also be ok for non-rev passengers?
