What the flight attendant should have suggested was a paper bag over her head ; )

I congradulate Southwest for their stand.Does being a “young” woman give the right to go around showing her butt? Where has descency among youg women gone?Where is self respect hiding?

Are you sure she wasn’t showing her business? Lot’s of talk about a “Commando Kyla” the day of her flight. Also, if she was so embarrased, why is she currently appearing in the nude on Playboy.com?

Maybe we should start baning bikini’s? A poor kid or adult prude may be scarred for life if he/she has to swim in the same private OR public pool or beach with someone wearing something SO revealing! Get a life people! Stop complaining! She wasn’t showing anything more indescant than what you or your kids watch on television.

I’ll go with southwest on this, you see, the mom said nothing wrong with her attire, because she is a lady, she doesn’t have that instinct of guys who knows how to spot a thrill like this from a woman like her. Im sure every guys are talking about , saying , wait till she sits, we will find out. Like southwest says, they are a family airline, cheap airlines, where average income family flies to take vacation, unfortunately, a vacation that would go into waste because daddy was a looking / distracted with this lady trying to grab attention with her skirt. So you see Southwest needs to be applauded for doing this action. Hey , you want divorce rate to go up, let women come and fly in this skimpy, revealing skirts in a cheap airline where the average income family flies after working so hard to afford a vaccation for their loved ones, instead, daddy gets distracted by lady.

There is a big difference between sitting in a short dress on public TV in a chair that is facing the cameras and audience, and sitting in an airline seat that faces, within inches, the back of the next seat forward. I have seen many women on talk shows that you can see up their dress even though it hits near her knee when standing. Most of the talk show chairs are no longer facing straight in line with the cameras and audience to help avoid this.
For someone to have any kind of view of her “Business” when she was seated the person would have to almost have their head in between her knees. Maybe a bit obvious even for a voyeur.

It’s amazing how Kafkaesqe this whole matter has been: no one has a clue as to exactly what was wrong with this woman’s attire, and we will never know. It’s all highly speculative It probably wasn’t a lack of panties issue. Otherwise an arrest whould have been made, or the airline would have said so.

And we will never know what Southwest Airlines’ dress code is. It’s all very ambiguous and therefore subjected to the fascist whims of any biggot wearing a stewardess or steward uniform. The words “family airline” suggests the taste of Christian fundamentalism. On the other hand, Christian fundamentalists can often be more liberal than liberals on these issues.

So much for the idea that the free market leads to more personal freedom. No surprise that the airline will now try to explit the issue by advertising “skimpy” air fares–complete denial of having dehuhamized this poor girl.

Well, low rise jenas/skirts/whatever are perfectly normal. But going commando? Hadn’t heard that one before…

Actually if everyone knew the WHOLE story you would have a different opinion. Just look at the picture of her on the Today show. the top of her shorts are below her hips, the tshirt is stretched down. She also wasn’t wearing any underwear THAT IS WHY SHE WAS ASKED TO COVER UP BY A SUPERVISOR, NOT A FLIGHT ATTENDANT!!!! and it all started from a Passenger complaint! Love the way the media exploits things.
