If you want to stick your nose in other people's jobs, have at it and you're welcome to do so but I'm not doing it. It's someone else's job to take care of these things, not mine. One day, if you are the Captain of a 747 with 300 people boarding for a trans-Atlantic flight, the last thing I want to see if I'm boarding as a passenger is the Captain hanging out watching the boarding or leaving his pre-flight duties to discuss with a customer service agent the length of a girl's dress and if you are going to let her board. It's someone else's job, not the Captain's! The Captain should only get involved over much larger safety issues or major issues, not dress codes.

Unlike you I feel I have the interpersonal skills and knowledge of our company's policies to help that poor little CSA supervisor (with 1 year of "training")who still hasn't seen what I have.

I thought it was fine.
Everyone is saying I don't let my daughters dress like that!
Wake up, Your daughters dress like that.

Oscar- I apologize. You seem to be an exceptional individual who cares beyond the limits of an official role. I meant to support those who feel that subservient duties should be taken care of by designated persons. Your attitude speaks well for both your airline and your professionalism.

Unqualified, or disorderly persons need to be stopped to insure order on the aircraft. It is a hard job because personal distortions can make it hard to know what represents disorder. The woman in this example was dressed in a style that threatened order. What is disorderly may be a hard decision sometimes, but the benefit of the doubt is due the flight crew because of its role in insuring safety.
