United Airlines is under fire for refusing to let young girls board wearing leggings, and forcibly removing a passenger unwilling to be bumped because the flight was overbooked.

It’s critical to think through every angle of policies, procedures and statements with a professional communications strategist. Your reputation is at stake.
