On PSA planes, I like the smile that was put it at the nose of the aircraft. Kind of cool !

I’m like you. If I have to be squeezed into a tin can airplane like a sardine for sometimes hours at a time, I’m going to at least be dressed comfortably.

I used to fly PSA all the time in the 70’s. Truely a joy.

The sky-hags that man today’s airlines probably have a tough time with a comely lass such as this.

I would (hesitantly) like to see a photo of the sky-hag the kicked her off the aircraft.

I remember the Southwest Airline Hot Pants of the 1970’s very well. Those were the days. Take a look here:

“Surprised to hear this from SW Airlines ! Usually they always been laid back and informal....”

***

Airlines may cut some slack depending on the situation. And there are some rules one or another airline will strictly enforce. For example, being a person of size, I know that Southwest will regularly bounce some overweight passengers who don’t fit well into the seat. It’s often a judgment call.

One of the best shows on tv was “Airline” a reality show about Southwest and some of the situations its employees run into on a daily basis. My favorite episode had this would-be passenger who was so intoxicated, he could hardly stand. After being told by airline employees he was not allowed to board because he was inebriated, the guy looked into the camera (well sorta) and asked “how can they tell I’m abbreviated?” It was too funny.

Better than the guy who stank to high heaven, so they wouldn't let him on until he got showered and his clothing cleaned!

Don’t worry honey, you can sit by me. Just don’t tell my wife.

Yes, I do remember that one. They had all kinds — people who lost their tickets and couldn’t understand why they couldn’t board — people who were all bent out of shape because it was storming outside and they wanted to take off. And wasn’t there someone who wanted to transport live lobsters or something live as baggage?

I’ll tell ya — I couldn’t do these folks’ jobs. I’d probably go postal after one day or maybe even one minute. I don’t know how these employees could be so patient.

Heck, if they run out of seats, I’ll generously offer my lap...

Who says chivalry is dead?

That's mighty generous of you, considering how uncomfortable it would be for you.

Maybe he got on her case for trying to get away with wearing WHITE after Labor Day.

Keith is probably just jealous that she looks better in a miniskirt and heels, better than he does.

I remember one episode where Southwest refused to let a guy board because he was wearing a woman’s skirt.

She dresses provocatively and she got some attention. What is the problem.
