Southwest Airlines was forced to apologize to a woman who was told she couldn't board her flight because her cleavage was "inappropriate."

Jezebel reports that the woman, Avital — she only gave her first name — was boarding a 6 a.m. flight from Las Vegas to New York on June 5 when a ticket agent remarked that she couldn't fly unless she covered her breasts.

Clad in a comfy cotton dress, a baggy flannel shirt and bright scarf, Avital ignored the warning and marched aboard anyway.

...

Avital slammed the Southwest for "slut shaming," and said a man on her flight had on a provocative piece of clothing, but wasn't hassled.

Gross. Is basic dignity a thing of the past? She needs to cover up, hit the treadmill, and quit reading Jezebel.

HaHa! I LOVE Arizona and everything that represents it!

I’m flying Southwest whenever I can!

[forgotten man]

Knock knock.

Who’s there.

Emersom.

Emersom who?

Emerson big boobs.

[Old Sarge]

Second-rate pornstar guilty!

Reminds me of some heffer I saw on a rerun of “Bridezillas”!

[tet68]

I get the feeling everyone would have been better off
if she’d covered her FACE.

"...flannel....you know she's not humming "Where The Boys Are"

[brivette]

lol!

Reminds me of a story my Dad used to tell me about a woman with cleavage showing about to step into the swimming area of a lake.

A nine year old boy approaches her and says "Lady, if you're going to drown those puppies, I wouldn't mind having the one with the long brown nose!"

If you find boobies offensive, don't look. Easy enough when sardined in an aeroplane.

It's not like clockwork orange, and she was put on display.

I understand they wouldn’t let Michael Moore fly either.
Said it was “Contractor” cleveage or something.

I thought South West allowed to carry on’s?

[Truth29]

"Southwest has a history with rubbing plus-sized passengers the wrong way."

Oh the image and the joke.

I don't really find her dress that slutty or that big of a deal...she needs to lose some serious weight thought. The full length pic of her grosses me out more than the cleavage.

[Carriage Hill]

Snappy dresser, isn’t she? Gaaaawd, what a wardrobe disaster!

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Just another ballerina returning from a hard day of chopping wood.

[PT57A]

Milk with your coffee sir?

[MrB]

Much less disgusting than “butt cleavage”, by far.

Love the interpretation on the boob belt, the all new boob rope.
Fashion disaster, flannel shirt on that..
