Gerry’s really tacking those Big Issues, huh.

[Rightly Biased]

this should be interesting

[FormerLib]

NOT GUILTY!

[untenured]

I’ve flown Southwest for 30+ years, and their stewardesses used to wear much more revealing clothing than that.

[Moonman62]

Not Guilty!!!

[Jaysun]

The girl seems overdressed by today’s standards.

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

She can sit next to me.

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

[BJClinton]

Could a young woman board a flight to Tucson today wearing a bikini top?

So long as she's not too fat, yes.

[mewzilla]

After the plane filled, and the flight attendants began their safety spiel, Ebbert was asked to step off the plane by a customer service supervisor, identified by the airline only as “Keith.”

Since people had already boarded, I wonder if a passenger instigated the whole thing? And if a passenger was the reason for this, I wonder why SW isn't forthcoming with that info.

[linn37]

I don’t see what the big deal is,looks like normal summer wear.

[snowrip]

In the interests of saving those “adults with heightened sensibilities”, I’ll sit next to her. I do it not for myself, but for all mankind.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Even good companies hire an occasional flake. Given what people usually wear to fly these days, this girl should get a “Best Dressed” award. ;)

[MARTIAL MONK]

She should never be allowed on a plane in that outfit.
Shoulda made her take it off.

[PinkDolphin]

While I’d hardly say her face is pretty enough to be a model, she is certainly shapely. I can hardly believe that SW Airlines was so stupid.
This being said, now that I know they are so attuned to our delicate sensitivities, I’ll be sure to complain about any offensive burkas or headcoverings I see flying with them.

[inkling]

Finally, a middle-aged man willing to stand up for the rights of beautiful, scantily-clad blondes! Way to go, Gerry!

[ozaukeemom]

good point!

[NonValueAdded]

Clearest case of Bush Derangement Syndrome I've heard about in weeks!

_{how short was that miniskirt, anyway?}

[ozaukeemom]

Mmm, isn’t it Southwest who has no assigned seats? Maybe someone wanted her place.

[donna]

If she doesn’t like it - she should just turn the channel, LOL.
