My personal feeling is that if there were still any classiness left in airline flight, they might have a case. But if they're going to make the experience into something like a city bus ride, then anything goes. Rich
Does seem a bit draconian, especially since she offered to wrap a blanket around the offending integument.
A stripper wore her stripper costume out in public. She didn't do it because she didn't want to attract attention. As my mother always says, "Be careful what you ask for." And I guarantee she pulled those shorts down as far as they'd go for the pictures.
Miss McMuffin should hang around POA more often. Had she done so she would have been presented with a couple of obvious solutions to her dilemma: Alternate 1: http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/stretchy-leggings.94700/page-2#post-2068657 Alternate 2 - fly an airline where the flight attendants are wearing even less: http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/vietjet-air-is-hiring-pilots.94724/
"The pilot said your outfit is inappropriate for..." Translation. "If the pilots see you they might invite you in to the cockpit for a private session. That's my job, b***ch."
Didn't they throw Ron Levy off a plane once for wearing shorts? Ok, for the long term members, there was a photo circulated of Ron's legs. That's all I will say about that!
That's nothing compared to what I saw boarding an AA flight one day. Imagine a T-shirt with the arm holes torn out much wider. Nothind underneath...
I don't understand how her occupation has anything to do with the fact that the airline denied her boarding. Well, except for the reason of purposeful shaming. I agree, since she offered to cover up what she bared but others couldn't (pun intended), that should have ended the "problem" right there. Why they did not offer her a blanket is the weird part. Again, another artificial problem in need of no solution. Such is the human race. That's why I fly myself.
Yeah, but that's because he was the pilot. (He insisted the Chief Counsel had no problem with it, however, and had a letter to prove it.) Rich
There just HAS to be more to this story. Sorry, in 2016, I just don't believe someone would be kicked off an airplane only for wearing short shorts. Even if Prudey McPrude were flying.
It's only relevant because she was wearing her work clothes. I've never seen a stripper outfit that was appropriate "going out in public" attire. At least not a good one. Self-serving victim-provided photographs notwithstanding.
Whatever. If the airlines are going to toss folks off they could start with the loud and poorly breed children.
Some little low-class trollop doesn't bother me. Its the ones that smell bad, talk too loud, and insist on manhandling the back of your seat, or on thrusting the back of their seat back in your face with the force and suddenness of an olympic clean-and-jerk. Those are the ones I'd like to see the "captain" toss off the flight.
She is seeking publicity, to promote her career as a stripper. When the publicity mentions her name, career, and comments upon her appearance, and the news makes headlines, as this did, well, that is hitting the publicity jackpot. It's a clever stunt to use the airline as a foil. The news media love to report on problems faced by airline passengers, much more than most any other customer experience one might have. So, she was well served by provoking an airline to cause her a "problem" based on her appearance. She did very well here.
Not enough. If all she did was wear a classless outfit, the airline wouldn't care and nothing would happen.
And yet this would be allowed to board every day (and I've seen worse): But the self-righteous here think Ms. McMuffin is worse? Really? Gimme a break.
And take up the adjacent passenger's space too! Or were you referring to the blonde on the other side?
I'm really curious as to what constitutes self-righteousness, in your opinion, since you seem to be so fond of using the term.
self-right·eous adjective having or characterized by a certainty, especially an unfounded one, that one is totally correct or morally superior. convinced of one's own righteousness especially in contrast with the actions and beliefs of others : narrow-mindedly moralistic. "self-righteous indignation and complacency" synonyms: sanctimonious, holier-than-thou, self-satisfied, smug, priggish, complacent, pious, moralizing, preachy, superior, hypocritical; informal: goody-goody "we listened to Mom because she wasn't as self-righteous as you"
1. Where did #3 occur in the thread, maybe I missed it? 2. Why do #1 & #2 not apply to you? It appears that you are the only one intent on labeling others.
maybe jet blue is like the old McDonalds.........after 10:30am they no longer serve McMuffins. HIYOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo

OBTW...I missed one definition. Self Righteousness: The fear that some woman, somewhere, is actually enjoying sex.
