um, okay.  This is weird.  If we start a precedent with kicking people off planes because of their clothing choices, we have a biiiiig problem. 
Or ... not?  Does this mean I can vote on "acceptable clothing".  Because there are a LOT of really, really bad outfits out there that really shouldn't be allowed in the public eye.  Why do I have to look at them?  What if I find them offensive?
Maybe I should get a job with Southwest just so I can force my opinion on everyone.  Oh, and no, this blog doesn't count because you are here voluntarily!!!!

So, here's the article.
And, clearly, the Southwest employee has never been to Miami.  I mean, please.  This is revealing?  Come to Lincoln Road any day of the week.  You can't even see her belly ring! (and you KNOW this girl has one!)

Underdressed Passenger or Overreacting Airline?

Young Woman's Outfit Raises Eyebrows, Ire of Southwest Flight Attendant

Kyla Ebbert was asked to leave a Southwest Airlines flight from San Diego, Calif., to Tucson, Ariz., by a flight attendant, but she refused. The so-called objectionable attire included a white, tight-fitting shirt, a green cropped sweater, and a white, high-cut denim skirt.

Ebbert's so-called objectionable attire included a white, tight-fitting shirt, a green cropped sweater, and a white denim skirt cut high on her thighs.

Ebbert appeared on NBC's "The Today Show" today wearing the same outfit and said that she was asked by a male flight attendant to come to the front of the plane by the door to the jetway. There, Ebbert said that she was told she would have to catch a later flight because she was showing too much skin and Southwest is a "family" airline.

Ebbert said she told the flight attendant she needed to remain on that flight so could make her doctor's appointment and that because she was on a day trip, she had not packed any luggage from which she could take clothes to change.

The flight attendant, she said, suggested that she go to a gift shop to buy clothes. She offered to pull the top of her sweater tight over her breasts and her skirt down as far as possible, a compromise that was accepted

Southwest Stands by Wardrobe Adjustment

The airline does not dispute the confrontation, but stands by its decision to "adjust" her outfit.

"Southwest Airlines was responding to a concern about Ms. Ebbert's revealing attire on the flight that day," the airline said in a statement. "As a compromise, we asked her to adjust her clothing to be a little less revealing. She complied and traveled as scheduled.

"Fortunately, as an airline that carries approximately 96 million customers a year, these situations are extremely rare."

Though she accepted the compromise, Ebbert said she was left embarrassed by the situation, which she said played out in front of fellow passengers — so embarrassed she requested a blanket to cover herself for the flight.



Are you KIDDING ME?  I don't think I can ever fly Southwest again!  This is so absurd!!
