Good for Southwest.

Meeee-oowwwwww!

Bad policy for frequent flyers of southwest.

another hooters employee looks like. ad campaign?
lorien1973 on September 12, 2007 at 5:06 PM
Amazing. Those seats on the airplane aren’t cheap. If there is a dress code, at least make it known before hand.
Ordinary1 on September 12, 2007 at 5:06 PM
Possible new slogans for SWA:
SWA. The REALLY Conservative Airline.
Fly the friendly Skies. With Decency!
SWA. You’ll never have to disinfect your seat
SWA. Families Welcomed
SWA. For those not qualified to fly Virgin
Guardian on September 12, 2007 at 5:08 PM
The muslims watching this are saying:
Good for Southwest! Cover up, you whore! Inshallah!
jihadwatcher on September 12, 2007 at 5:09 PM
In a hundred degrees weather?!! That is not fair.
aengus on September 12, 2007 at 5:09 PM
Okay. That’s IT. Someone needs to e-mail SouthWest airline executives this link: Fly ICARO.
My collie says:
CyberCipher on September 12, 2007 at 5:10 PM
I hereby volunteer to be any hot chick’s sweater on SWA so they can safely make it to their destination.
lorien1973 on September 12, 2007 at 5:12 PM
What the hell was wrong with her dress? I have moms bring their kids to school with less clothing than that! She’s got big boobs, so what? If you don’t like ‘em, don’t look!
robblefarian on September 12, 2007 at 5:16 PM
SWA does need to post a clear dress code, both online and at their counters in airports, if they’re going to ask people to leave, change, or cover up because of how they’re dressed. I don’t have a problem with them having a dress code at all, but they need to post it if they’re going to enforce it. It’s just not fair otherwise.
Heck, I have trouble remembering and interpreting the details of the school’s dress code when I’m buying clothes for my daughter, and they’ve got that thing posted everywhere. For example, the school’s dress code says “no spandex pants”–does that include little girls’ leggings? It also says “no low-cut tanktops”–does that mean no tank tops at all, or are modestly-cut ones okay? It does still get well into triple digits here in September, after all.
Dress codes can open up a can of worms, but SWA certainly has every right to institute and enforce one if they like. The question is, who spends the entire flight being uncomfortable: a hottie who has to wrap up in a blanket, or my pre-teen son who has to hold a book tightly over his lap the whole time? ;-)
aero on September 12, 2007 at 5:19 PM
When the first incident occurred Southwest said they always react when customers share concerns. Has anyone checked to see if it was a Muslim customer who complained? I live in N.C. and even Baptists don’t get upset at dress like that. I suspect dhimmitude.
rivlax on September 12, 2007 at 5:19 PM
Ya gotta be kidding me. Good for Southwest? Well, they just lost me as a customer – and I fly plenty. Not so good for them.
Look, I’m a traditionalist, a conservative, and not a fan of the coarsening of our culture. I completely agree that a lot of the younger crowd dresses inappropriately.
But I’m also an American – which means I sort of like, you know, freedom. And don’t think corporations arbitrarily telling people how to dress is such a swell thing. And the irony is killing me – not long ago, if you wanted to see short skirts, you hopped on a plane to scope the
stewardesseser flight attendants.And who the frick are these people who allegedly not only both notice these women and actually MIND their skimpy clothes, but also somehow have the ability to be bothered right through the plane seats (can YOU see other people’s clothing on an airplane? Unless they’re actually in your row?) … and then is such a busybody they complain?
Or is the reality that Southwest is doing this unilaterally? That’s my guess.
But most of all – for those who think this is “good for Southwest” (hope they don’t choose your clothing next) – did you WATCH the tape? Did you see what she was actually wearing?
I’ll concede that the first girl was pretty skanky. That little skirt was way, way too short (although again – who is seeing this on a freaking airplane without x-ray vision?).
But THIS girl? Did you see her? She looked good. Classy even. She looked like a young girl dressed in a comfortable, not particularly short and not particularly revealing dress, that would pretty much be standard in the summer in Las Vegas.
I repeat: you gotta be kidding me.
The lesson: if you’re wearing a “Death to America” t-shirt and chanting ‘Allahu Akhbar’ … if passengers complain, they or the airline might get sued.
Wear a nice dress on a summer day? Oh – we’re coming after you.
Sharia has begun its creep.
And that is not “good for” anyone.
Jesus wept.
Professor Blather on September 12, 2007 at 5:20 PM
Me like Setara.
Travis Bickle on September 12, 2007 at 5:20 PM
2 of the 1/5 of U.S. Americans who can’t locate the U.S. on a world map have just been located.
Brat on September 12, 2007 at 5:21 PM
Why would anybody in their right mind ask her to cover up? I mean jeez, to cover those things up you’d need one of those tarps that they bring out during rain delays at baseball games. Bazungas!
Zetterson on September 12, 2007 at 5:22 PM
I’m going to have to disagree with Bennie on that one.
I heard that there was a recent change in the leadership at SWA. Meet the new president of strategic develop and morality enforcement…….Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. Their new slogan, “We know you have a choice in travel, and if you’re drop-dead gorgeous, please wear a burqa. Allah commands it. Fly Southwest (soon to be Mecca) Airlines.”
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on September 12, 2007 at 5:22 PM
Jeez, I see nothing wrong with what she is wearing. SWA has got a problem.
BobK on September 12, 2007 at 5:23 PM
Who is complaining? The employee or another passenger? I would like to know if the people complaining are Muslim. Just out of curiosity.
Sue on September 12, 2007 at 5:23 PM
Yeah. That’s the other possibility.
I’d like to know who is actually complaining – if those people exist.
If you’re right … well, sharia isn’t creeping. It’s moving faster than that.
Ridiculous. Just ridiculous. The whole thing.
Professor Blather on September 12, 2007 at 5:23 PM
This feels more like a set up than anything else.
That other story got wide air time and it sounds as if this girl had seen those reports (although, to be fair, it could have been shown to her after it happened to her as well).
Sounds like other girls want to get in on the “wear a shirt, claim it’s a dress, fly in a blanket & retain a lawyer” method of making some money.
The only reason this is even making news is because she’s “hot” enough that enough men are wondering why anyone would want her to cover up. Add about 200 pounds on her (but have her in an outfit that shows the same level of naughty bits and you’ll get an almost universal “Way to go, SouthWest!” reaction.
JadeNYU on September 12, 2007 at 5:25 PM
Ok. This is crap. If there’s a freaking dress code, then post it already!
On the bright side, the two females in question can be thankful this is the West, and while placed in an uncomfortable situation, the company employees did ask, in a polite & discrete manner to cover up.
ParasiteLawyer up.I would like to point out a small distinction. But at least it was not an Iranian Air Flight where the poor girls would have been ape handled, beaten, and possibly jailed.
Post the freaking dress code already!
locomotivebreath1901 on September 12, 2007 at 5:27 PM
Does Southwest make so much money that it can try as hard as possible to drive away the 18-35 year old male demo?
RMSpuhler on September 12, 2007 at 5:28 PM
I wonder who asked her to cover her cleavage with her long hair when she was seated modeling the green dress at the end of the clip? And why?
redshirt on September 12, 2007 at 5:29 PM
Thats true Jade, we probably would be saying that. But please note, if pressed and asked to answer seriously, most of us here who believe the airline is rediculous for making this young lady cover up, would also think it rediculous for the airline to make a fat lady cover up as well.
Zetterson on September 12, 2007 at 5:31 PM
Ok, I may not prefer blonds, but this gal IS HOT!
DUDE – I am totally gonna start my own airline!
I’ll keep the temperature at about 90+ degrees. Instead of a seat-back TV, I’ll install a mirror and a fan to blow on their faces as they lean over for relief.
Agrippa2k on September 12, 2007 at 5:31 PM
Also, is she muslim? Is that name arab?
redshirt on September 12, 2007 at 5:31 PM
Yeah, flip flops with a revealing dress like that? Fashion DONT. Definitely cover up.
BelchSpeak on September 12, 2007 at 5:31 PM
I dunno Professor…I watched the video. I even went back after reading your post that the dress looked classy and watched it again.
The skirt length was alright when she was standing, but she had to sit at an angle, hold the skirt in place as she was sitting down, and cross her legs in order to ensure that she didn’t flash the camera when she sat down.
JadeNYU on September 12, 2007 at 5:34 PM
Dude, somebody better screen passengers well, before there is an accident, or Sharia enforcement bombing.
Agrippa2k on September 12, 2007 at 5:34 PM
OhEssYouCowboys Airlines will always have a seat available for Setara – guaranteed.
OhEssYouCowboys on September 12, 2007 at 5:35 PM
I’m kinda getting used to this weekly featured passenger routine. If SWA is sending these passengers elsewhere some other other airline ought to pick this up.
pedestrian on September 12, 2007 at 5:36 PM
Sshhh! Don’t tell Al Gore. He thinks that the glaciers are moving WAY faster than sharia creep.
CyberCipher on September 12, 2007 at 5:36 PM
Maybe it’s okay. Most of those South American airlines like ICARO fly a plane-load of pigs on the returning leg of the flight. That’s sure to keep the terrorists away (Allah be praised).
CyberCipher on September 12, 2007 at 5:39 PM
What the heck is wrong with that outfit?????
That does it, Southwest used to be my airline of preference. Not any more.
conservnut on September 12, 2007 at 5:40 PM
CyberCipher that is incredible! Awesome even!
Zetterson on September 12, 2007 at 5:41 PM
Since when does SouthWorst practice Sharia law?
They are providing a product and now want a dress code?
Cleavage will get you thrown off an airplane? How about a butt crack?
What’s next, scruffy beards? Oh, that might be Halal.
What business is SouthWorst into, transportation or Haram passenger detection?
I don’t care if they have baggy pants with underwear protruding or a thong and six inch stilettos, it’s not SouthWorst’s place to determine flying eligibility.
Just consider it part of the In-Flight Entertainment.
Kini on September 12, 2007 at 5:42 PM
I realize that this is not a detailed dress code, however, Southwest does have the following in their “Contract of Carriage” which is available on their website:
F. Comfort and Safety – Carrier may refuse to transport or remove from the aircraft at any point any passenger in the following categories as may be necessary for the comfort or safety of such passenger or other passengers:
(1) Persons whose conduct is or has been known to be disorderly, abusive, offensive, threatening, intimidating, or violent, or whose clothing is lewd, obscene, or patently offensive;
They may not have spelled out skirt lengths and amount of cleavage allowed, but, appropriate dress is mentioned in their service agreement. If you don’t want to risk the “severe emotional distress” that results from being told to cover up, the best bet is a knee length skirt (or light cotton pants) and a tank top for traveling on a hot day.
JadeNYU on September 12, 2007 at 5:45 PM
I disagree entirely – I think her dress was downright modest on a 100 degree Vegas day in the year 2007 – but let’s assume you’re right: If “the skirt length is alright when she is standing” … who exactly could have complained?
Who exactly – on an airplane – was sitting in a position to look up her skirt? Maybe you have x-ray vision … but I can’t see people on a plane. Except the back of their heads, and the people next to me … but guess what? If they’re next to me, I ain’t looking up their skirt. At least not with some hard work and practice. And a mirror. And some real flexibility.
And of course all of that assumes she’s not demurely crossing her legs. What world do you live in where women wearing skirts don’t cross their legs? And can I move there?
Lastly – if the skirt length was “all right” for standing, but bad for sitting, can you maybe clue us in on the exact measurements that’d be okay? 9 inches good, 8 inches bad? What?
C’mon. This is stupid. And like I said, with the first woman it was at least arguable. I don’t even think its close in this case. If HER skirt is too short – I want to see the flight attendant’s skirts measured, too.
And yes, I’ll do it myself if I have to, dammit. I’m a team player.
Professor Blather on September 12, 2007 at 5:48 PM

Coronagold on September 12, 2007 at 5:51 PM
The blanket modeled by the second girl was a better look. If I want to see a camel hoof, I’ll look on the internet. Don’t want to see it in the airport or in public transportation.
RushBaby on September 12, 2007 at 5:52 PM
ROFLMAO, I live in the California desert, the girl was over-dressed. I think it’s 108* today. Somebody slap these morons. She looked nice, period. Get a flippin life SWA.
ajmontana on September 12, 2007 at 5:53 PM
Seriously, SW Airlines needs to post a detailed dress code. This is getting old. As for the dress the woman was wearing, yeah, it was sexy as hell and didn’t hide the fact the woman has big breasts but it wasn’t any more revealing than anything I see on a young girl at the mall… in fact, it covered up more than what alot of those girls wear….. not that I notice or anything.
Yakko77 on September 12, 2007 at 5:54 PM
Again with the fake boobs. Has it occurred to anyone that both of these girls (with the expensive boob jobs) are downplaying their appearance for the camera? They like to flop ‘em out, and good for them. Not on SW apparently.
Jaibones on September 12, 2007 at 5:55 PM
SWA’s actions aren’t defensible, but if bumping the occasional (hot) passenger is what terrorism has been reduced to .. well, it’s just hard not to laugh.
AtomicAmish on September 12, 2007 at 5:56 PM
Exactly. It’s almost modest by today’s standards, in that climate. Certainly in comparison to the first girl.
You sincerely believe that this outfit was what they envisioned when they used the term “lewd” in that context? “Abusing, offensive, threating, violent … and sundresses …?” Seriously?
Knee length? Okay, now I know you’re just pulling my leg. Knee length? Did Eisenhower just win his first term? Maybe she should wear knickers and a a corset? Hell, I’m watching the video again (research purposes) and that skirt is only about 3 inches from her knee when she sits. And she’s having no problem (damn) hiding her panties. Maybe we’re watching different videos.
She looks good. Although for the record, after careful viewing … I think its safe to say that the skirt wasn’t the issue anyway. The, um, issue(s) are a little higher up.
Professor Blather on September 12, 2007 at 6:00 PM
The blonde lady’s boobs might have been fake but Setera’s boobs were real.
Zetterson on September 12, 2007 at 6:03 PM
On balance, is there anyone more fortunate than a strikingly beautiful girl like Setara? The world is her oyster.
Wotta smile!
Kensington on September 12, 2007 at 6:04 PM
Great. Now I have to go watch it again to check your conclusions.
Professor Blather on September 12, 2007 at 6:06 PM
A Southwest airlines flight out of the San Fernando Valley to Vegas for the weekend.

tommylotto on September 12, 2007 at 6:08 PM
All I can say, is that this is great advertising for the other airlines. The 18-35 market is Southwest’s bread and butter, it is every airlines’s bread and butter, and SW is not helping their bottom line with this publicity.
jihadwatcher on September 12, 2007 at 6:09 PM
Haha do what ya gotta do Mr Professor. I’m actually leaning towards real boobs all the way around but the blonde lady is a tough call considering the outfit (well isn’t that ironic?).
Zetterson on September 12, 2007 at 6:09 PM
I am MUCH more alarmed by the weight of today’s average airline passenger. The fuel efficient Boeing 787 is arriving not a moment too soon. Airlines have been tracking fuel costs over the past 25 years. After normalizing the data for the increase in the price of jet fuel and other factors, the upward trend of fuel costs shows a disturbing correlation with Americans’ expanding waistlines. If the airlines (like SouthWest) wanted to do something truly useful, they’d weigh passengers before boarding and adjust the price of their ticket commensurate with the passenger’s mass. Maybe that’d give passengers some incentive to adopt a healthier lifestyle. But this focus on “appropriate attire” seems a bit unwarranted. Especially since there’s nothing dignified left about flying — being herded through security and seated on a flying cattle car, and all. To me, flying on today’s commercial airlines is about as dignified and glamourous as my yearly physical exam at the doctor’s office (complete with prostate check).
CyberCipher on September 12, 2007 at 6:09 PM
The next time I fly, I’m gonna dress up like a ’70′s gigolo-type. Button the ol shirt down to the navel and wear skin-tight polyester pants. Maybe even wear a Bob Ross wig. Douse myself with Hi Karate and pray I land myself and lawsuit. SWEET!
On second thought–maybe a gay 70′s roller-queen. Keep the unbuttoned shirt and add roller-skates and skin-tight daisy dukes. Hmmmm…
robblefarian on September 12, 2007 at 6:12 PM
Something here is very fishy. Can anyone check the passenger lists on these two SWA flights? I Suspect that this is payback by some Muslim groups for the “flying imams” controversy. I’d place money on it that the “complaining passengers” were Muslims…
thewhitneys on September 12, 2007 at 6:15 PM
I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
I live in LA and can’t recall seeing dresses like that very often at all.
I also don’t think just because something is common (perhaps it is in Vegas) that it then becomes a requirement for everyone to accept it.
And (not that you claimed this, but, others have), I think it’s silly to be talking about encroaching Sharia law just because a girl in a low-cut top and with a high-cut skirt was told to cover up by a private company. 50 years ago that would be called decency. Today we call it Sharia?
JadeNYU on September 12, 2007 at 6:16 PM
Southwest can do what it wants yadda, yadda, yadda…..
Seriously, let’s stop pretending, these chicks are sluts and they know they’re sluts. Nothing wrong with being a slut (at least if you look good) but if you wear skirts that barely cover your ass and tops that let your boobs hang out, people are going to react, some positively and some negitavely. If they’re too stupid to know that, then that’s their problem, not Southwest’s.
forged rite on September 12, 2007 at 6:20 PM
I see nothing wrong with this girls outfit, I have a few summer outfits myself that I guess I better not fly in. But I do think the first girls skirt was too short. Theres a difference between sharia law and simply not wanting to see someones woohoo hangin out while you eat your free peanuts
Keli on September 12, 2007 at 6:27 PM
No offense, but if you live in Southern California and “don’t see dresses like that,” you’re either blind or don’t get out much. I just got back from six weeks in Los Angeles. That dress wouldn’t even stand out in the crowd. C’mon. I saw plenty of women, much younger, wearing much, much, much less. And that wasn’t at the beach.
That depends entirely on who was doing the complaining.
If it turns out that, in fact, the complainers were Muslim, and that it was their religion that caused Southwest to react as it did … well, yeah, that’s troublesome.
Professor Blather on September 12, 2007 at 6:32 PM
Okay. Fair enough.
They’re sluts … and you’re a prick, aren’t you? Oh, wait. Should I not judge someone that I know absolute nothing about?
Oops.
Professor Blather on September 12, 2007 at 6:36 PM
Maybe Southwest is concerned about these hot babes carrying concealed weapons….
Ba-da-BINGGGGGG

Travis Bickle on September 12, 2007 at 6:52 PM
Take your self-righteous bullsh*t and shove it up your ass you dumb peice of sh*t. Every girl i’ve ever met who dressed like that would be on her knees in the mens room gobbling the knob of whoever was lucky enough to be the first to buy her a couple of drinks.I don’t have a problem with that, but some people do, and if Southwest doesn’t want people dressed like sluts on their plane, they have the right to enforce that rule. Whether you like it or not doesn’t mean sh*t.
forged rite on September 12, 2007 at 6:53 PM
So…I have this business proposal I’ve been drawing up, a niche airline specializing in serving ladies who choose to dress in…”summer fashions”, whom Southwest declines to allow on board. Anyone interested in investing?
;)
fusionaddict on September 12, 2007 at 6:54 PM
fusionaddict, they used to have Hooters airlines. There were few different airports, Scranton was the closest to me, but I didn’t go on them. They’d basically pay Hooters girls to be waitresses, it folded.
Bad Candy on September 12, 2007 at 6:59 PM
Consider what the woman was wearing.
Now consider Richard “Shoe Bomber” Reed.
Consider then TSA screening for proper attire.
Consider this the revenge of women of rotund size and seatbelt extenders.
Kini on September 12, 2007 at 7:00 PM
Change your tone immediately.
Allahpundit on September 12, 2007 at 7:02 PM
I rest my case. You really are a vulgar little prick, aren’t you?
And for a second I’d felt bad satirically doing what you did and judging someone based on a single piece of their behavior.
So, hey, maybe you’re right: maybe they are “sluts” since they were short skirts, my infantile, misogynistic little buddy. Now how about you grow up a bit, and remember that there are in fact ladies present who might rather skip your brilliant insight into “knob gobbling.”
The irony of you calling someone else self-righteous while simultaneously denigrating every woman who ever wore a sun dress is certainly amusing enough, but show some respect. I know for a fact the woman who owns this site gets plenty of misogynistic comments from people exactly like you, and I doubt she appreciates seeing comments like your most recent on her site.
You ought to be embarrassed, little man.
Professor Blather on September 12, 2007 at 7:05 PM
Don’t even have to say it. I’ll apologize now and save you the trouble.
Professor Blather on September 12, 2007 at 7:06 PM
Excuse me if I missed it anywhere, but has anyone noticed that Setara Qassim is an islamic name?
jeffersonschild on September 12, 2007 at 7:10 PM
Exactly when did the Taliban buy Southwest Airlines?
Buzzy on September 12, 2007 at 7:12 PM
Do you even know what misogny means? It means hatred of women. I said in both my comments that i don’t have a problem with the way they dress and going by my experience, i have a good idea of what they’re probably like. Could i be wrong? Yeah, but i’m probably not. Either way, i don’t have a problem with them. As for respect, they obviously don’t respect for how other people feel, so i don’t see any reason to extend the courtesy to them.
forged rite on September 12, 2007 at 7:28 PM
Awww crap, the wife sometimes wears a number like that.
Better warn her.
CTDeLude on September 12, 2007 at 7:29 PM
Sorry about that Allah, will do.
forged rite on September 12, 2007 at 7:29 PM
If I was managing a hot chick looking for some publicity I would be buying ticketes on SW and dressing her up.
PHenry on September 12, 2007 at 7:34 PM
Also it should be noted my wife is anything but the ugly misnomers being so casually thrown around here. A very good Christian woman in fact. So these accusations of sluttery leads me to believe some haven’t stepped out of their bedroom in awhile because, in California, the past few weeks it’s been damn hot and women wear a little less clothing when such a thing occurs. And I’m sorry, but Peter isn’t locking the gates of heaven to someone with an above the knee length outfit.
CTDeLude on September 12, 2007 at 7:35 PM
AP-
You and Michelle have a golden opportunity to branch out here into this open niche in the transportation field with:
HOT AIR-LINES
where all of these scorned hotties are welcomed.
“Other airlines think you’re TOO Hot to fly?
Well, you’re Not for… HOT AIR-LINES!”
Our vouchers are smokin’!
profitsbeard on September 12, 2007 at 7:35 PM
These SWA (lack of) dress threads are so entertaining in that we women get to see how men react to a pretty woman. The positive reactions are priceless.
I ♥ men. Seriously.
It’s an Arabic name. Not all Arabs are Muslims.
baldilocks on September 12, 2007 at 7:41 PM
She looks and sounds about as American as they come. I think she’s a fellow infidel… a very attractive one at that.

Eh. She wanted her 15 minutes of fame, and she got it. Big deal.

Good question.
I’ll admit that much.

I still think she beats the In-Flight entertainment.
Kini on September 12, 2007 at 7:57 PM
Professor,
I think you should review the clip again. Just to make sure your arguments are precise. I think they are, but you should double (triple, quadruple. . .) check, just to make sure. We don’t want sloppy opinions formed on this blog.
Troy Rasmussen on September 12, 2007 at 8:11 PM
This is the deal made with CAIR and islamanitwits. They don’t want to see skin and John Doe won’t get sued by moooslims.

So if I like them, you give me permission to look?
Tim Burton on September 12, 2007 at 8:30 PM
I meant an airline that would have them as PASSENGERS, not STEWARDESSES.

None of you were there, so you really don’t know Southwest’s side of this, and apparently they aren’t going public with it. I do however have my own pet theories. It is very likely on the first one she either wasn’t wearing or wearing very minimal underwear, the cooter came out for air and some parent complained. The second one was probably braless, came onto an airline where the temperature was somewhere close to 40, and the flight attendent didn’t want her poking out someones eye.

1. When I heard this on the news today, I conceived the title of this blog and immediately transfered the idea to AllahPundit via my telepathic abilities …..your welcome, AP.
2. Sequel # one (1) was most likely a random act, #2 definitely is a conspiracy from either SWA to:
a)produce some really hot and cheap publicity,
or:
b)an ex-employee in cahoots up with stewardess/s to become famous.
If it’s a, then this will be the last incident and lawsuits will be filed.
If it’s b, then there will be more “incidents” and no lawsuits will be filed.
A) makes sense for sequel #1 because SWA has always been cheap.
B makes sense for #2.
So there’s the off chance that both are rigged “incidents”.
You heard it here first.

I think profitsbeard is on to something here.
How about this motto?

It’s interesting how you and prof blather have no problem making judgements based on people you know, but when i make a judgement based on people i know, you respond with insults and name calling. What’s the word for people who do that? Oh yeah, hypocrite.

Spend a day in the South Bay area, or spend an evening walking Sunset blvd., walk into any grocery store in August in Newport Beach, or San Diego and you would see a lot less material. John Wayne airport in September, loaded with gals dressed in a lot less.
You have not spent much time in L.A. or Orange County. And an evening in the gas lamp district of San Diego, she is overdressed.
Great Pub for SWA, it is a stunt, no way they would be offended. Las Vegas in Sept or Oct., 110 degrees, she is overdressed.

I am so jealous of you. You get to be called all kinds of cool names, and I get these Mitt-witts calling me a Fred-head, or that I am envious of Mitts wealth, or a christian extremist…man you get all the good names.

They show it, I’ll stare my creepy old man stare at it. It’s even better when they don’t charge me for the privilege.

Could this be a male flight attendent thing.
My neighbor pilot for Continental says the male
flight attendents are a bit . . . . . cheerful.
Just a thought.
Anyway, What ever happened to woman being woman and
guys being guys and minding our own damn business.
The woman in the plane was a babe and the PC police got
jealous. . . .

My only problem is that these broads are ugly… they’re fooling people by dressing slutty and then you get close and it’s a big disappointment.
I’ll admit, this new girl is hotter than that blonde creature I still think could have been a dude, from last week, but she’s still no prize pig… and too much eye make-up.
Of course there’s this:
Maybe we’ve got a female flying imam on our hands… a fe-mam, if you will. Joking obviously… she should be more worried about her distant family decapitating her for disgracing Islam than anything else.
In all honesty though, can’t these private companies do whatever they want? Admittedly, it doesn’t sound like the company making the decision… but couldn’t they if they wanted to? It seems like working security in clubs I was able to tell people they couldn’t come in for any reason I wanted… When a drunk would argue saying “what do you mean I can’t come in here drunk, that’s what the bar is for”, I’d say “okay, then I don’t like your hair-cut”… Then things went one of two ways after that. I even had black guys say “oh, it’s cuz I’m black, right!”… Then I’d usually just ask the black guy who was standing right next to me to handle it and I’d get his line for a minute… Was always pretty funny. Anyway, I believe they can boot someone for any reason… it’s not public property.
