“I think they were just discriminating against because we were young decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us,” she said. “[The flight attendants] were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger.”

They sound like conceited brats who have much growing up to do.

When the plane landed in Los Angeles, the women were escorted off by four uniformed police officers and later questioned by the FBI.

Nearly two hours later, the women were released. No charges were filed.

Overreaction by SWA of course.

Not "brats", simply inexperienced at flying.

If they were more experienced they'd had the aisles tied up with guys trying to force their water bottles on them.

Their daddies called them ‘Princess’ - and they believe that’s what they are...

Sounds like we are definitely hearing the 5% of the story favorable to these two. I fly Southwest once a week and have never seen a flight crew treat anyone badly. I expect Spoiled Princess Syndrome is once again at work here. ;)

Not Guilty and receiving extra punitive award for the trouble!

"I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us,” she said."

That's probably why no one ever got confused about who was being disruptive.

I never see women like that on my flights.

This is not the first time Southwest has discriminated against pretty girls.

Anyone remember these fun threads????

Yep, both your comments are likely dead on. The idea that the FBI would waste time talking to these women when there are actual crimes to investigate is revolting. The idea that the SWA crew singled out these women does not pass the smell test.

Williams had to use the plane's bathroom. She saw another passenger in it, and when he hadn't come out 15 minutes later, she knocked on the door. When he came out, Williams says the man came over to her seat and yelled a profanity at her. - How did he know she was the one that knocked?

IMO, these two had planned this all out. Maybe hoping for Penthouse or Playboy to call.

Aren’t those the girls that stole the cookie money from the Girl Scouts?

We have a winner here! A little free publicity to get the media's attention.

Yuck. If someone’s in the bathroom for 15 minutes on an airplane, I don’t want to go in after them.

These two are idiots trying to get some attention. I guess it’s working.
