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?

Now I would like to believe that the company policy also provides employees in training and in writing a definition of the term inappropriate. Generally, I go along with the fact that businesses have the right to refuse service to patrons for legitimate business reasons, as they generally only refuse to make money on people when it's merited. But without a company-sanctioned guideline of acceptable vs. unacceptable cleavage, it seems that this attempted refusal was based on Avital's personally distaste, and patrons are not obliged to impress agents in order to get on a flight. Sorry.
