Two southern California women say they were removed from a Spirit Airlines flight last week for wearing crop tops. A flight attendant instructed the friends to disembark their New Orleans-bound flight before the plane could depart from Los Angeles international airport, they told a local news station.

The friends, Tara Kehidi and Teresa Araujo, were wearing sweaters when they boarded the plane, but removed them because the air conditioning was not functioning.

“We were wearing crop tops ... just like a little bit of stomach showing,” Kehidi told the ABC news affiliate KABC. When a male flight attendant told her and Araujo to “put something on”, the friend asked: “Can we see a dress code? Like, is there a policy that says we can’t wear crop tops on the plane?”

Another woman sitting in the row in front of Kehidi and Araujo told the station that the temperature on the plane had forced most of its passengers to remove their sweaters.

Spirit Airlines announced that flight attendant Barney Fife has been reassigned to other duties.

I don’t believe it

20 bucks say it was fat black women passengers with it all hanging out.

Looks like very attractive white or Latina women.

Could they not have just put their sweaters back on?

“Tara Kehidi and Teresa Araujo”

Sounds more like at least one was hispanic
