Too sexy for Southwest Airlines

Two women told to cover up before flying

wahoo
I just stumbled across this on MSN and thought I'd share.

Too sexy to fly

Apparently Southwest, along with American Airlines (I'm sure these aren't the only two) have the right to refuse passengers for offensive clothing... or as in the two cases cited above, the Flight Attendents can ask you to cover up!

Please remove your tattoos before boarding, or else our employees will recognise you as the liar you are.
wahoo
um, excuse me?

The captain on my last flight, I felt quite over dressed blink.gif

They practically strip-search you at security, and then they expect you to dress modestly on the flight?

I haven't seen any stories of men being told their clothing is "immodest." Can I complain to the flight crew the next time I have to suffer through some guy's shirt pulling up and exposing his overhanging belly and/or plumber's crack while reaching into the overhead compartment? Yuck.

The co-pilot seemed to be very nicely dressed.

If you wear tattoo's??? and smoke?? What does that have to do with lying...I guess next time I will leave my tattoos at home. I never knew smokers where liars...but then I guess I am lying to myself since I am a smoker.

That only usually happens when they bend over or squat doesn't it?

pretty strange although also pretty pathetic if you can't dress normally to go on a flight

(no idea what the people in question were wearing mind you)

Bend over, pick up carry-on bag, straighten up, stretch to place bag in overhead. If they don't stop to heft up the trousers, you get the show for the entire maneuver!

You really have to wonder why the "morally" Christian influenced people want to fight the Taliban when their beliefs are in the end pretty much the same..
cinzia
Silly Hutcho. There's a big difference between the Taliban and Christians: the latter are eating today.

Anyway, if Americans are prudes, I'm not sure you can paint that as a religious issue.

Southwest don't allow bodypainting either.

What if you bodypaint before you board?
