Southwest tried to boot a girl with fake boobs off of a flight. I've seen some really dumb shit go on at airports, but I gotta tell you, this one is pretty ridiculous.
Is this chick really guilty of being anything other than recipients of implants? (The article doesn't say they're fake, but come on, who has boobs that big and is that skinny?) She's not even showing "too much skin" as best I can tell. Her cleavage is mostly covered up. I've seen more legs on teenage traveling soccer teams, and on a Southwest flight no less.
So other than the attendants apparent feelings of inadequacy, what was really the problem?
I guess if you allow girls with big boobs on airplanes, the terrorists win.
What exactly is this world coming to? That outfit is not revealing except for the fact the skirt is a little short. I have strong beliefs on a lot of subjects. Regardless of my beliefs, I really try my hardest to not force my beliefs on anyone else. I'm getting sick of people thinking that they can tell people how to dress, think, act, etc.
What's even more amazing is that a MALE flight attendant asked her to come to the front of the plane. There must have been a complaint from someone on the plane, and the male flight attendant was forced to tell the girl that her clothes were too revealing. I can't imagine many males would take that initiative on their own.
Likely, it was some mom (or dad, but mom seems more likely-dad may have forgotten about the kid and continued to stare :)) who didn't want her kid seeing that type of attire. Again, the nerve of some people. It's not like her boobs were hanging out of her shirt.
I think she's got a case and will win if she wishes to sue.
What case does she have? On what grounds can she sue? The emotional trauma of embarrassment? That's a problem we have these days. We think that somehow our emotions can be measured and then cashed in for a payback of some kind.
She was not denied her flight. She received all the accommodations that go with a flight.
The situation sucked. She's told her story. It's time to move on.
I strongly disagree. Any time a business discriminates on appearance, they need to be held accountable. That fact that this instance was so superficial in some ways makes it worse than the average -ism. I don't see this as being about and individual cashing out, I see it as sticking it to The Man for being an asshole.
I understand what you are saying. But she wasn't really discriminated against. In the end, she was denied nothing. To sue there has to be a loss of some kind in order for there to be the potential for legal retribution. I think she has stuck it to them the best way she could have. She told her story publicly and now people can decide if they want to give their business to jerks like this.
