Thrawn,

You really need to go visit a college campus sometime besides the dead of Winter in the frozen North. After that you ought to go visit a boutique or at least some clothing store more "hip" than good will. You will find that the current fashions exceed what you may have seen on britney and that some of them are in line with madonna.

My wife looked at the picture of the young lady that was hassled. She said that her dress was far far more conservative than what she was used to seeing walk in the Library at the University of Arizona.

You mention socialist thinking, that's simply BS as overt concern about the dress of others is socialist thinking. There was nothing about the way that young lady was dressed that had a darn thing to do with the operation of the aircraft or the airline. She didn't distract the pilots, passengers nor disrupt operations of anything in the transport process. There was no reason to threaten here off of the plane. The attendants job does not include passenger fashion advice as a part of the job.

I still think the attendant got upset because she was prettier than he is.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

:rofl

She boarded plane in San Diego. She was covered alright for a Southern California girl in July.

I'd be concerned if she'd be wrapped into Inuit fur or if she'd be 400lb whale showing a butt crack.

Odds are that 'family friendly clothing' restrictions weren't posted on the itinerary or issued ticket, which she received before the flight.  

I don't think it was a very tasteful outfit, but she was entirely covered up.  Like it or not (and nobody is forcing you into liking it), she wasn't inappropriately dressed.

Either any rules and regulations regarding who is on a plane, should be up the owners of the plane.


That's absolutely true. And if the passengers were notified in advance of the expected appropriate attire and understand they must comply with that in order to fly hassle-free (BEFORE providing their money to the airline), that's fine.

Though I personally think her skirt is a little short I certainly don't have a problem with the way she is dressed. I think the Airline owes her not only an appology but a nice chunk of change to make up for the humiliation she was put through.

considering that 99.99% of male flight attentants bat for the same team, I'm not surprised.

Apparently, when she bent over, her skirt was short enough that her thong was completely exposed.  At least that was supposedly the reason given at the time.

I'll readily concede that much more risque clothing can found in many other places.  Like I said, it's clothes to go clubbing.  I think that's where it would be appropriate.  It has nothing do to with being "repressed" or not, I think think the cloths are hawt.  And exposing adults to it in an adult setting is fine.

As nirvana has pointed out, he has seen "worse" at school.  Now is this a good thing, or something that should be discouraged.  I certainly don't want my daughter dressing like a potato a school.  My god it blows my mind that now that makes some considered sort of over the top controlling parent.  But that's okay, I pretty damn comfortable with the job I'm doing.


Mav, what I found "socialist" had nothing to do with the issue specifically, but the implication that if something isn't regulated by the government.  Then is should be okay, even if it happens on someone else's private property.  If I misread that implication then I apologize.



"And if the passengers were notified in advance of the expected appropriate attire and understand they must comply with that in order to fly hassle-free (BEFORE providing their money to the airline), that's fine."

Touche.

With all that said, she does indeed look like a little tramp.  If she were my daughter I'd hope to have raised her with a desire not to look like she's walking the streets for a living.  Actually, my daughter would be forced to dress as modestly as
<--------- ole Lucy over there w/the skipping rope as long as she was under my roof.

But hey, if that gal wants to make a spectacle of herself in public, let her go for it.  No law against that.

*edit* oops, I cursed there. edited it before the skuzzinator found it.:D

You know, Txmom, you come off as a tough lady I wouldn't want to mess with...  But I'll bet you'd have a heart attack within one year of moving up around here :D

I figured she jumped on the plane in nothing but lingerie- There's scores of women in SoCal dressed like that, in public, right this minute.

No, just the way people are up here, fashion styles and such.  I think your daughter would give you some headaches after becoming acclimated to our culture :)

:) Ah, I see what you mean; you're right! God knew a daughter would never survive my household... I've only got three sons :D  The daughter remark was hypothetical.
