What is really ironic is that a passenger that complained about these womens' attire probably watches FAUX News...where women dress much like those young women.

It's not like there is a stripper pole she'd be dancing on at the front of the plane or something. Although, I wouldn't personally mind seeing her do that....:evilgrin:

The only thing overly sexy about this woman is that she is very "endowed." If she were thin, this dress would have been fine.

So now the rules are, if you have a sexy bod, cover it up! Geesh!

It would be a very cold day in hell before I'd fly SW airlines again. Now they're the "your boobs are too big for a vee neck" airline.

because I don't want to download flash it screws up my computer. But I was wondering would it be ok if the women wore burkas. Oh no...then they would be taken for Muslims and that's not acceptable either. Should women just stop flying on South West Airline. That would fix em.

unless, of course, they have a "buSHIT is Shit" tee shirt on.

PRUDES!

Then us adults - and kids who know how to behave - can have the others.

I mean hooter waitresses who dress for the weather in AZ?

Or better yet, get the families with screaming toddlers and babies off the planes.

dressed. As long as the other passenger is not breaking the law, I think the airline should tell the complainer that it is not their business.

Already we are getting to the place where we have to fit some mold in order to get a job or a loan or rent a house.

I am currently undergoing a background check to get a new job and the piece of paper I had to sign said that among other things they were going to investigate my life style, what ever that means.

I have lousy credit and I take anti depressants and anxiety medication. Will that disqualify me because of a judgment on my character?

Home of the brave, land of the free as long as you fit the mold.

Kayla is dressed exactly like every other woman her age today. And quite a few women twice her age, as well. The flight attendant took too much liberty with the power he thought he had. That said, she did make it to her destination, made her appointment, and returned on the same airline wearing the exact same outfit with no further problems whatsover.

Call me a cynic, but I'm seeing a way for Kayla to do a little self-marketing. I understand her feeling humiliated by the display she was put through on the plane, but puh-leeze.

I'm also torn over it because we just plunked a lot of money down with Southwest for two tickets out west; the price has gone up substantially since we booked, and I'd take a beating if I tried to change 'em. Oh well. I'm pretty much supporting Kayla on this one. Up with Kayla's skirt! Uh, no, that didn't come out right...

:hi:

.

and I thought a couple of the passengers were dressed as if they were headed there in a "professional" capacity -- and could possibly line up some business on the way. I'm wondering if this might be what's really behind this attention to passenger attire.

Have we become such a nation of prudes that the mere flash of underwear drives us insane?

Sid

but SW will never, ever have me for a customer, that's for damn sure! If they tell a nun to get off the plane 'cause she looks funny, that will be their PR department's worst nightmare!

"family"(as in values?) airline? Sounds like Bull airlines to me. I don't want to go with them because from what I see I would be uncomfortable with their gestapo tactics on others.

I'll just say "no"..I've changed my life about a few things since this whole buSHIT thing started..walmart for one. Only buy Blue and that came about from me before I even heard of BuyBlue. I'm not giving my money to corps who support buSHIT. Sorry, got off on tangent.

I"m one of those that don't really care what is worn, is exposed, etc.

But I can see what there could be a complaint about dresses to short and flying. Everyone that has flown knows that it gets to be a tight squess. With people trying to put their stuff in the bins, get totheir seats, etc.

The shortest of these dresses barely cover. If the wearer bends over, she is winking at people. Aghm... IF it's a dress and she lifts her arms, it's a show. All fine and dandy if she is in a sitaution where she doesn't have to bend over or lift her arms. Everyone is standing, or if seated.. not seated where she is standing directly beside them..

If she got on a plane and had a window seat, she would have to pass directly infront of other passangers. It the front or the back is going to be in someones face. Some might not care what she wore, so long as it wasn't IN THEIR FACE. And if she ranked.. well.. that would make such a situation even worse.

I agree with the airlines on this one. Short skirts are not for flying.

WTF is wrong with this country?

I'm in the category of not giving a rat's ass what other people wear..I just need to know that what I wear makes the impression I want for myself.

Guess that's why I'm a progressive and not some fascist fashion freak.

like you get at the doctor's (but these would have to close securely--no flapping asses for everyone to see). No shoes, no carry ons, no nothing. Then all passengers get the largest dose of valium allowed by law (kids too). Then everybody can sit down, be mellow, and let the flight crew get on with the business of flying the aircraft.

This airline insanity is out of control.

:eyes:

the air-marshalls? Better yet..hire fucking mediators to sooth everyone's EGOS.

Edit~ Airlines put up your dress codes and blast it with your prices!!

I my family to enter the house we are allow to keep our cloths on. The airlines want your shoes off, coat off, get the laptop out, rummage through your bags and might put everything back, turn your pants button over... pretty soon they'll be asking everyone to get a full body cavity search to reach the family airline.

Just sayin'.

BOTH WAYS!

Here name is Setara Qassim, so she probably got "points"
for being a likely Islamic Fundamentalist Terraist flying
with liquid explosives artfully concealed within her body.

Tesha

And what the hell does the length of a woman's skirt have to do with it?

test of being legal I don't think SW should have a say so in what she wears.

NBC managed to give viewers a brief upskirt shot of Kyla Ebbert in the second of the two clips here. Is it the skirt, the couch or the 3 TV cameras?

All the airlines have those box thingys at check-in, and if your carry-on is too big, you have to check it. Now I guess they'll have the same thing for women, a box to put your boobs in, and if they're too big, you're not allowed to board, and another thingy to measure your skirt/dress length.
