My daughter and I would have a “come to Jesus meeting” if she attempted to walk out of the house like that. Don’t really care how old she is either. Having said that, I am not comfortable with Southwest or any other entity becoming fashion police. Too many freedoms are being lost this way.
My take on it is basically - what's the big deal? Some semi-random thoughts...
Sure, she isn't dressed conservatively, but nor would I call her clothing provocative.
So she's young and beautiful and wants to be noticed, big deal.
What happened to the generation of "red blooded American males" who would see her on a plane and say "Yeah, I'm flying Southwest more often!"
I work out, take care of myself, etc. If I get on a plane in snug jeans and a polo shirt am I going to be asked to leave?
I thought the whole "we're slaves to our urges, our women must be covered up at all times" thing was a conservative Muslim thing, definitely not an American freedom of expression thing.
Are we, as a people, so fat and lazy that we feel ashamed of our bodies and jealous of someone who takes care of themselves?
Are we headed down the slippery slope where we can't do anything, say anything, wear anything ... anywhere that may in any way offend someone? {SLAP} Here's a wake-up call America, down that path is madness. You can't please everyone. There'll always be someone who takes offense, even if only to torque you off. Personally, I'm offended by plaids, neckties, green colored cars, bad breath...
It's Southwest Airlines' $30-$40 million dollar aircraft and SWA should have the right to say who rides in it and who doesn't.
If I were in charge of an airline's dress code, any clothing that reveals a girl's "tramp stamp" low back tattoo would be vorboten. Those tramp stamp tattoos are not only unattractive IMHO, they're usually worn by women who really shouldn't expose any more UNattractive features than necessary.
