Obviously they aren't going to expect the kids to dress up in a suit.
But for fucks sake, When you read that business/formal wear is a requirement, only a thick twat would think "Oh, I'll just dress the kids up in any old shite then."
I'm sure the leggings would have been perfectly fine if they were being accompanied with shorts or a skirt, like they're traditionally worn. The fact that popular culture has spawned this awful trend of wearing leggings as outerwear should not play in their defense.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Well, I wonder how that decision is working out for them right now.
1) What IS the point? Most people who've heard about this think it's pointless, so they haven't really made themselves look good.
2) Who benefits?
Is anyone, on seeing a child dressed in casual attire, going to think "wow, United Airlines HR policy has really gone downhill!" ? Of course not.
Is anyone, on hearing a child has been disallowed from boarding (in clothes that would be considered fine for anyone else) going to think "wow, Unite Airlines are unreasonable cunts!" ? Of course they will.
3) They've just wasted a number of usable seats, and they now have to find space on later flights for these children to travel, so they've cost themselves money.
