Underdressed Passenger or Overreacting Airline?

Question

Her outfit aboard a Southwest Airlines plane two months ago first earned her a flight attendant's reprimand and now has sparked a decency debate that may result in a lawsuit.

Kyla Ebbert, a blond, shapely 23-year-old San Diego coed who also works shifts at a Hooters restaurant, boarded the flight to Tucson, Ariz., on a one-day round-trip visit to an Arizona doctor's appointment. She had settled into her seat when a flight attendant confronted her about what was later described by the airline as "revealing attire."

Question - What are your thoughts ?

Answer 1

Sounds like a clear case of jealousy to me and Southwest needs a lawsuit for giving flight attendants that type of control over passengers.

Answer 2

So what good is parachuting without proper training beforehand? Also, how long does it take to exit the plane? Do you think everyone's going to have enough time to jump out of the plane? It's just not feasible. Also, if you're over the ocean, where do you propose landing? You now have jumped out of a plane without a life preserver... Do you plan on treading water for hours or days until someone finds you? You could be MILES from where your plane was last detected on radar. There are plenty of plane crash survivors. It happens. But, if you slam into the side of a mountain (as the Russian flight did), you're not going to survive. And no one knows if the pilot detected any trouble. People at the control tower only knew that it disappeared on the radar. The pilot likely didn't see anything when they slammed into the mountain. How would parachutes have helped? There's a risk of taking any kind of travel. Air Travel is still one of the safest possible forms of travel.

Answer 3

Just today - in SW England I have seen many ladies wearing considerably less than this person. Are your airline on some sort of crusade. I wore more revealing outfits in the 1960s!
I think America needs to get together and come up with a code that is acceptable to everyone!!

Answer 4

What the hell difference does it make what an airline passenger is wearing? Geez...people worry about the wrong damned thing. There was nothing wrong with the outfit that she had on at all. It was probably some out of shape, jealous old heifer that "hated on her"...the airlines took that way too far. It's not that serious.

Answer 5

Flight attendants are psychotic.
On a flight a few years ago my hand nudged one of them doing the drink tray thing. She acted as if I had molested her, it wasnt even intentional, it was the back of my hand. You know how when you accidentally bump someone you are pretty much whoa sorry buddy etc. It was so much less contact than that I sat in stunned silence.
The only airline thing I agree with is if you cant control your kids they are off.

Answer 6

Is that the exact outfit? WTF? I work at At Airports all the time. There is nothing Underdressed about her or overly revealing. That Vanessa Hugens is Showing a lot more.....
As rule of thumb most Filght attendants today look like the lunch room lady. Singapore Air & Le avion are the Exception. British airways is the worst. Southwest losses this lawsuit...

Answer 7

I think that since the 911 event the airline industry has given too much power to the homo ticket checkers and stewardesses. This even is absolutely based on a ticket checker's personal opinion and actually bordering on harassment.

Answer 8

I think the people who run Southwest Airlines and the passenger who complained are idiots who behaved like Islamofascists trying to force their morality on others.

Answer 9

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,

I suggest you get an eye test :-P

Answer 10

Both but now she is threatening to sue. That is absurd.
