It does look like she's wearing the mini-skirt very low. Look at her hip-bone jutting though the shirt, and then look at the top of the skirt. I would assume that when worn at her hips like a normal skirt, it might look surprisingly short.

However, there's absolutely no grounds for an airline to put a passenger off a flight based on allegedly skimpy clothing. It's ridiculous. Even if they have a policy, that needs to be *advertised* so passengers can be prepared.

Airlines playing morality police in a secular democracy is wrong but suing over hurt feelings? If I don't say it, someone else will -- it's a singularly American response to a singularly American problem.

p.s. Does anyone else feel that the poor girl doesn't really look 23? Does Hooters have a maximum age limit?

Kick her out? Hell no!

If you read the article, there's a hint from the airline about how it transpired...

"Southwest Airlines was responding to a concern about Ms. Ebbert's revealing attire on the flight that day."

So it sounds like someone complained about the attire. I could be wrong.

Next time I fly Southwest (heaven forbid) I'm gonna complain that the person next to me is offending my delicate sensibilities becuz they're too fat. It's like riding in a cattle car a mile up in the sky. I could use the extra room.

In the video interview when she sits down again from that standing pose in the photo you can see her panties for just a moment. So there might have been a panty flash on that fateful day.

Yes, ground the aircraft and kick off the terrorists, some hottie flashed her panties.

Does Hooters have a maximum age limit?

If you look relatively young and happy (still have most of your hair, nice smile, teeth are intact, etc..), it shouldn't be a problem.

Ladies over 40 will generally have difficulty finding jobs in major cities.

They may have to accept a job on the outskirts.

Was she flying in an airplane or a Victorian England? If it was the latter then I could see why. If it was the former sorry for the confusion.

Yet another example of how my nation is going down the toilet: a bunch of Puritanical busybodies obsessed with telling others how to live their lives.

As I read the story, I thought the only thing that would make it even better was if the girl sued for emotional distress. Looks like my wish was half-fulfilled:

Quote:
The Ebberts have engaged an attorney, Martin Reed, to help them decide what to do next.

Asked if he will file suit, Reed told Lauer, �We�ve not made that decision, yet. We�re considering all the facts and all the circumstances.�

�Initially, I just wanted an apology,� Kyla told Lauer. �At this point, just some acknowledgement that they were wrong. That would be better.�

I really bet that her white t-shirt was pulled down as far as it is in that photo.

Except that I think the skirt isn't meant to be worn like a normal skirt - otherwise she wouldn't be able to wear it like it is.

I'd hazard a guess that it's more like a hipster skirt.
