Do you think Southwest went too far telling a woman she had too much cleavage?

Avital was boarding a 6 a.m. Southwest Airlines flight on June 5 from Las Vegas to New York, wearing a cotton black dress, flannel shirt and scarf.
Avital claims she was politely chatting with an airline worker – who then told her cleavage was inappropriate and that she wouldn’t be able to board the flight unless she buttoned up her flannel shirt...Avital declined to cover up and boarded the plane – cleavage and all. The flight and Avital apparently made it to New York without incident.
“[I didn't] think there was anything that special about the outfit I was wearing. It had topped 115 degrees in Las Vegas when I was there, and most people were scantily dressed just to stay cool. I hadn’t even considered that it would have been a big deal,” Avital said.
She added that she “most likely” will not be flying Southwest again.

mamacrash 2012/06/19 23:29:33Yes+5Unless she was boarding in a bikini, she wasn't, they have no right to comment on her cleavage, abundant or not. I think the person who talked to her about her cleavage was either jealous or just wanting a closer look. Either way the picture doesn't show any more cleavage than most in that kind of heat and if you go to most non-uniform high schools you will most likely see more skin than this woman showed.





















If they're making it up as they go along, they're at risk of a civil suit.
Let's see how that would look:
Southwest Airlines reserves the right to refuse service to any woman whose clothing is deemed immoral or slutty. Men, of course, need not concern themselves.
If they actually posted such a notice, women and progressive minded men would stop doing business with them and they'd go broke.
What we have here is a Fox News viewer who simply decided to throw his weight around and tell the lady she was dressed like a slut.
Religious Fundamentalism is a disease, and it's on the rise.
And to Dee, I don't know if you've been told, but topless men aren't considered "naked". You see, men don't have breasts. Shame you're just hearing this.
I think you are taking the Fox news/slut comment a little too literaly, it is simply an exaggeration...I think, if I am wrong...*shrugs*
Also you are correct someone answered a question, and Dink simply replied with an opinion, another thing we do here brother.
How funny that you would consider a shirtless man to be indecent or even "disturbing". Sounds like a personal problem, Lol.
Anyway, every company has a right to have and enforce a dress code.
Oh, and the Fox news comment was made. I responded.
The woman is not naked, she has cleavage.
In my country, there's a saying: A prostitute talking abt chastity.. (sounds a bit off, but you get the general idea)
I was replying to a comment, not accusing the OP. What was that you said about a "fool" ?
As for Fox News, if you haven't noticed that the culture divide comes down on who does and doesn't watch Fox, you haven't been paying attention.
You just don't.
BTW, this was taken from their website ^^
Hello, what's wrong with this picture? - you give money and are expected to grovel for something YOU are paying for.
I am surprised someone as old school as you thinks this way.. (no offence intended)
They have to conform if they want renewed business!
This capitalistic dictatorship got this planet to where it is - soul sucking corporations rule, treating people like slaves. And when there's no use for him/her - discard.
THE CONSUMER dictates the rules, even when this consumer is a little bit off, a bit unpleasant, etc (not counting in the extremes).
For my money I decide what and where I buy, not vice versa.
And had this happened to me, I'd make hell abt it right there. And you can be sure I'd be on that plane, not covered up!
Hell, just to prove a point, I'd probably even make the cleavage a bit deeper.
But unfortunately, Iceland is your only hope then. Everyone is corrupt and everyone sold their asses to the rulers of the world.. Which ever country you look at.
Though, I know quite a few Brits and Aussies and French that adore us savages (Serbs) and love their lives here, not working 16 hrs/day.
You're welcome here any time hehe [given you're from IL, I presume you'd know some]
