I don't think that outfit is too revealing (thanks for the pic, gymclothes), but again, how are they wearing them. Not so much with this chick, but I'd wager the one from Today show wasn't wearing her outfit the same way, while boarding, than she did on the flight.

From the article;

If you wear provocative clothing, tattoos, or you smell of alcohol or cigarettes, who's going to believe you?" she said.

Screw you, you snooty b*tch. So anybody that smokes or has tattoos are automatically a liar?

Any company has the right to refuse service to a customer or make reasonable requests of them in order to continue service.

You don't have to agree with SW's policy here but it is their right to ask that you wear a blanket.

I thought the same thing. I have tattoos. Lots of them. You can see one of them easily if I'm wearing short sleeves. You can see many of them if I'm wearing a tank top.

So, I guess I'm not trustworthy and will be asked to get off the plane now?

That pisses me off.

Me too and I am planning for more.

People should be more concerned with what their CHILDREN wear on a daily basis.

I affectionately call them "Prosti-tots"

This is true--but said policy needs to EXIST. It doesn't. They don't have a dress standard. Girls are being targetted by employees that are enforcing a PERSONAL standard, not a company policy. Not to mention, there are a multitude of ways to approach someone, and it sounds like these people are not making these requests in a polite fashion. Being rude to a customer is also their right, but it's damn shoddy business.

If I find it borderline offensive to see the gut of an obese man hanging out from under his t-shirt - may I request he be covered or removed from the flight? No! I wouldn't expect an airline to cover him up, nor would I request he be removed from the flight (although I may request to move seats if he's taking up both his and mine). It's silly that they're targeting young women, when really the entire populace is guilty of fashion assault. What about the frumpy old ladies who wear spandex pants? That could be considered provocative (although since they're generally not attractive women, no one cares).

In my opinion, if they want to enforce a dress code, they ought to have that dress code on display online, at ticket sales, and at the check-ins - so there's no mistakes to be made.

I actually agree with her on this one, though.

NOW I know what to call them! hehehehe

I'd think the flight would be much more enjoyable without her covered by that blanket.

technically, yes. But it's also our right to say "screw you" and fly on a different airline. I don't see why any of us has to put up with an airline that treats it's passengers like s**t.
If they won't give us respect, we don't give them our money.


Haha, genius!
When will people learn that provocative clothing is for girls who are legal.

I have a couple halter tops. They're not comfortable. They're certainly not something I'd was to be wearing while stuck on a plane for hours. And if some hott guy was picking me up at the airport, I'd put on the sexy clothes in the bathroom before getting off the plane.

Also, until our government enforces a public dress code for it's citizens, screw you, Southwest Airlines, I'm wearing the shirt that shows off my awesome boobs!
