September 10, 200719 yr Author How? It's simply a business decision.Because it was ONE guy, not the organization. He made the decision, and it was ridiculous.

September 10, 200719 yr I would be interested to see what the other passengers had to say about the incident. What exactly did her outfit look like? Was she publicly humiliated? What is Southwest's policy? I know what they said to the newspaper but what kind of discretion do they give to each employee when it comes to attire or behavior? At the end of the day she was allowed on the flight and made it to her destination, I'm not a lawyer, so what is her lawsuit? If everything she alleged is 100% true then she is right to making a big deal out of, letting future consumers know where to spend their airline money. If she isn't being truthful, she sounds like someone trying to make a cheap buck in an overly litigious society.
September 10, 200719 yr So we are ASSUMING that the way she wore it on TV wasn't actually the way she wore it originally on the plane, even though the article doesn't say that?
September 10, 200719 yr So we are ASSUMING that the way she wore it on TV wasn't actually the way she wore it originally on the plane, even though the article doesn't say that?Everything I've heard and read has said there was a difference.
September 10, 200719 yr Then where are the complaints from passengers?I don't know that there were any. Would you have complained? I'm wasn't saying that the employee was justified, just trying to make sense of it and trying to figure out what the so called adjustment may have been.

September 11, 200719 yr Tell me what was wrong with my comment about no complaints from the passengers. Don't bow out, explain why that isn't a valid point. Sorry...I had a JV game (we won 14-0 :thumb:). Your point is a valid one, but THE point I am trying to get someone on the...for lack of a better term, pro-girl side to admit is that she may not have looked the same on the Today show as on the plane.

Your point is a valid one, but THE point I am trying to get someone on the...for lack of a better term, pro-girl side to admit is that she may not have looked the same on the Today show as on the plane. She may not have, but I haven't seen anything that tells me with any certainty that she didn't.

Your point is a valid one, but THE point I am trying to get someone on the...for lack of a better term, pro-girl side to admit is that she may not have looked the same on the Today show as on the plane.I agree that she may not have looked the same, but a company spokesperson said a passenger could conceivably wear a bikini top as long as all the proper spots are covered. That leaves the belly exposed out, which brings us to the skirt. Just how "high" could she have been wearing it if she was able to board the plane with no problem?
September 11, 200719 yr Author I don't have a problem with what she wore.No, just how she wore it, right?
September 11, 200719 yr No, just how she wore it, right? Why are you putting words in my mouth? I don't know how I can be any clearer...my one and ONLY point is that how she wore it on the air MAY NOT be how she wore it on the plane. Again..........I don't care if she was naked or wrapped up like a mummy. I have no personal opinion on that. I am bothered by the fact that people think that how she wore it on the air was necessarily how she wore it on the plane. If you go back to my original post (after the "why are we making a big deal about it"), you will see that I made an analogy to dress code issues that I have as a teacher. By the time they get to the office to see the principal for the offense, they have adjusted the outfit and meet regulations.
