Southwest Calls Woman Out for Cleavage: Was the Airline Justified?

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?

    If her outfit was street legal, who the hell is Southwest airlines to make comment about her clothes. Considering the obscenity that is airline travel today, they should center their attention on improving service.

    Assuming that is the picture it's a poor outfit choice but not worthy of refusing service.... That said I'm always amazed at the inappropriate 'clubbing' attire that shows up at PTA meetings, little league affairs and backyard BBQs .

    Southwest is privately owned, so what they say goes, no matter how dumb it may seem. If you don't want to be called out on something like this, look into the rules and regulations before you head over to the airport.

    But seriously, they're boobs. They can't kill you. So suck it up and get over yourself.
    The amount of skin you show has nothing to do with the amount of self-respect you have.

    I've read Southwest's rules and regulations and nowhere does it say you can't show cleavage, it just says you must be clothed and that nipples and genitalia are appropriately covered. Obviously, that's not a direct quote, but that's the general gyst of it.

    If that's so then it might have been a complaint. All in all, it does seem rather moronic. Sure, she's not the best dressed, but I'd hardly call that indecent.

    Here again, just like the ticket agent, it's a personal opinion. While the dress may be a little more revealing than I'll let my daughter get away with, when she gets older, I can't say it's inappropriate, I've seen worse at walmart.
  • Ramblin... rcardon 2012/06/20 18:59:26

    It certainly is, and mine is that she looks terrible. I certainly wouldn't want to sit next to her, anyone who goes out dressed like that would leave me wondering about their state of mind and personal hygiene.
    I've never had the displeasure of shopping at Walmart but if I did I'd take an AK47 with me.

    No I don't live in a compound, I live in the UK. Now get back in your cage before I can no longer resist the urge to rattle it again.

    Which is why your first comment was sensible. Your second, however, was just inane and grasping at straws.

    Their beginning to sound like my husband!! He has a fit anytime a little bit shows and he has to lean over me to see that! It's made it so I have shirts that I can only wear when he's not around and everyone I've asked if they show too much cleavage, say no, their very respectable. From the picture you can see she's even wearing scarfs to try to cover some. Let's face it, women with slightly bigger boobs have cleavage! It's not our fault!

    If you limit what we wear then we're stuck Nun's clothing. That dress that she's wearing is showing Cleavage but most the boobs are covered, I've seen a lot worse! Like the "Top Opinion" picture! LOL

    Sounds like someone has an issue with big boobs. Just because you don't want to see them, doesn't mean others don't. Then again, who's to say that was the effect she was going for, maybe she just liked the way the dress looked, thought it was cute, or maybe it's her traveling outfit, it's not her favorite, but it's comfortable.
