It doesnt take much to get thrown off an airplane these days, as Kyla Ebbert found out when a Southwest Airlines employee told her she was too bare for the air. Two months later, shes still trying to figure out what was wrong with her outfit.
In an exclusive appearance Friday on TODAY, Ebbert modeled the outfit she says she wore on the flight in question. It consisted of a snug-fitting white top with a scoop neck that stopped just short of showing cleavage.
Over the shirt was a green sweater that buttoned underneath her bosom. It was finished with high-heeled sandals and a white denim mini-skirt with a fashionably frayed hem.
It was a lot more clothing than the 23-year-old college student wears on her job as a Hooters waitress. Her mother, Michele Ebbert, said she would have told her daughter if the outfit was inappropriate.
But her outfit is fine, Michele Ebbert told TODAY co-host Matt Lauer. She looks like every other college girl in San Diego.
Not according to a Southwest employee identified only as Keith, who approached Ebbert after she had taken her seat on the plane and was listening to the flight attendants go through their pre-departure routine.
He told me, Im sorry, but youre going to have to take a later flight. Youre dressed inappropriately. This is a family airline. Youre dressed too provocative to fly on this flight, she told Lauer.
I said, What part of it, the shirt, the skirt? Which part? Ebbert continued, recounting her conversation with Keith about her outfit. And he said, The whole thing. I said, I didnt bring any luggage with me. I dont have anything to change into. What can I do to make sure I can get onto that flight? ...

Ever heard of a "thong?" And since when are panty lines grounds for throwing someone off a plane? No, another poster had it right: there's much more to this than what we're being told.
She could be a good Frontier wife. Strong pioneer woman, can whup a bear with a stick.
Darn it...look at post #37, I just got done being nice.
Can you say bubbleheaded slut? Bubbleheaded skank? How come her indignant mother didn’t tell it was “inappropriate” to work as a Hooter’s skank???
Damn! I wish all the women wore mini skirts (under a certain weight limit of course) on my flights! What is wrong with some “eye candy”?
Glad you got it out of your system! ;)
It is amzing what people will accept for normal attire.
When I am on the bus it is very embrassing to set across from a women who skirt is so short you can see her underware!
What gives with these frightful future of America!
The outfit is tacky, and she looks a bit trampy, but I wouldn’t throw her off a plane. I wonder if there is more to this story than we are being told. As an aside, why is this even news? Why doesn’t she just sue Southwest and get it over with. It’s pretty obvious that this is where this is headed anyway.
If I recall correctly, the Britney zone had no fuzz.
A more appropriate cure for a fear of flying then benzodiazepines could ever hope to be IMO. ; )
I agree. Good for Southwest. There still is a proper way to dress when out in public. IMHO this tacky woman was out for media attention or trying to attract a John.
Yeah, my head quit rotating and the bile is out.
ahh, I feel better now!
I see the problem.
Her clothing failed to cover her face.
Not skimpy enough!
No taking the puppies for a walk on Southwest?
Since you feel that way why even bother with cloths fawn let all God’s gift hang out!
