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?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmooooooooooooooo...
agree with TeeHee.
Now, I'd send the fashion police after her in general, but I've seen lots more exposed on a plane.
I refuse to fly Southwest, and I'm not alone.
Could Southwest get better? Sure, I think most companies can stand to improve in aspects. But I think Southwest gets an unfair overall picture. 98% of the time you fly with them its going to be great. 98% of the time you fly other airlines you're going to get rude employees.
A buddy the other day left noise canceling headphones, expensive ones, on his last connecting flight. They were not long from take off and he didn't think he had time to get them and that the other plane was probably gone. The Captain got wind and ended up getting the guys headphones for him. Southwest.
But that doesn't get a news article.
All I'm saying is that a boycott could be an overreaction to a relatively small problem.
