The problem, though, is that Southwest has opened them up by not having published guidelines. What if this woman was catching an international flight with several connections and a $2500 ticket price? Sure, she might've showed bad judgement by what she was wearing but, technically, what ordanance was she violating? It is perfectly legal for her to walk around town dressed that way and she arrives at the airport and Southwest tells her she can't fly? Sorry, but unless they have guidelines about proper attire written somewhere, they'd better open up their checkbook.

But she wasn’t thrown off the plane...she was asked to leave, she argued against it, and the flight attendant let her back on once she adjusted her clothing. She did not miss her flight, and sat in her seat with her legs crossed and a blanket covering her lap. I’d think she’d have more of a chance of a settlement if she had been booted off, but she wasn’t.
