Airlines have a way of creeping into the news any time a passenger plays too much "Words With Friends" or allows his pants to sag a little too much. This week is no different. According to Jezebel, a woman was hassled on a 6 a.m. Southwest flight from Las Vegas to New York a few weeks ago because she was boasting too much boobage. You know... cleavage, baggage, breastage... She was showing too much of her twins. At least, that's what the airline said.
A woman going by the name Avital told Jezebel that she was told her outfit was "inappropriate" because it showed too much of her chest, but she didn't let that deter her. She boarded the plane anyway and, in her own words, "Lo and behold, the plane didn't fall out of the sky... My cleavage did not interfere with the plane's ability to function properly." Do you think Avital deserved to be called out by Southwest Airlines for having too much cleavage, or is her outfit perfectly acceptable?

g zero cleavage but I would not trade here for a dozen exposed cleavage! Oh she was a SOUTHWEST AIRLINE flight attendant!!! Screw the proudest -- I'm in my 60's and still love a beautiful woman ...
38HH bust, 25 inch waist, 37 inch hips. I prefer to wear 'business-y' type outfits as they're comfy, look good and I can go pretty much anywhere and what I'm wearing is always at least decently acceptable.
But, obviously not on airlines.
Shucks...
Ok..I like trains and have bad sinuses anyways. Better view and food on the trains also.
ex: because the plane did not fall out of the sky, No it's about others, this lady was disrepectful of the policies, and others that see her, Plus the photo that is used is mostly likely not the outfits the lady was wearing.
Hey,have you ever seen the Walmartians video on YouTube? If not, you should. So funny.. (-:
On a side note, the dress is nice and the scarf is a great accessory. I'm guessing the shirt was not an original part of her outfit and she was forced to wear it to get on the plane. It was stated in the story that "she boarded the plane anyway" possibly because she agreed to "cover up". Next thing you know they'll be wanting women to surgically remove the offensive "things" ... so pathetic!
(you): "Child."
(child): "Yes, parent?"
(you): "That is what we call a whore. Those kinds of people are empty inside and no one loves them. Don't ever aspire to be like that and don't ever expect to be loved by someone like that."
(child): "Okay, parent."
The woman was in no way demonstrating anything of that nature. Your simple-mind is probably the same thinking that got her booted from the plane.
(son)" what dad?"
(me) "that simpleton over there.. the one watching your 14 yr old cousin"
2) The employees would not have jobs were it not for paying customers. The idea that an employee feels "uncomfortable" & is willing to humiliate & attempt to shame a paying customer who is the one who puts the bread on their table, is absolutely outrageous. Offending people is not the way to increase profits. It is a hell of a good way to lose them though.
Southwest needs to get its act together. I agree that any company has the right to refuse service. However, with no clear rules, it isn't fair. A person pays for a ticket & has no idea that the normal attire he/she would wear on the street is not going to be acceptable on an airplane is simply n...&

Were the person aware of the rules & chose to break them, that would be a different story. However, Southwest has a history of changing the rules without warning... as in employee to employee, e.g. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/2...
