South West Airlines?

Since that time, Southwest airline has sent a written apology to both these people. But I think that is not where it should end. They should be compensated for their harassment. I dont think an apology means much unless it is backed by a substantial gesture.

I agree with Southwest on both examples! The airline has to err on the side of safety. Maybe the girl with the short short skirt was on a plane full of bachelors, and they'd be too distracted by her to pay attention to the security breifing, or the guy with the Master-Baiter shirt was causing a stir with the other passengers. Chances are, the plane is not going to crash, but if it does, I don't want to have to deal with a bunch of people who don't know how to get out of the plane because they were too busy talking about someone's shirt to listen to where the exit rows are.

That's the problem with free speech - some people don't like what you say.

When you put limits on free speech, it becomes censorship.

Maybe Southwest should be required to operate two flights to every destination - the Free Speech Express flights where you can wear whatever you want and nobody cares, and the My Way or the Highway flights where passengers must observe a strict dress code (black or white only) and nothing controversial can be discussed during the flight.

Sometimes lawsuits are the only way to change a society when civil rights are violated. This is the U.S., and we have overweight people, baggy pants people, head-scarf people, multi-religions, and women who kiss each other.... these qualities are our strong points, not our weaknesses. They deserve to be fought for. After the woman was cleared, and if the flight attendant had problems with the woman flying, the flight attendant should have been removed from the plane, not the passenger. Ignorance and fear cannot win over civil liberties.

I've flown Southwest to many time this past year and I can say that they are a good airline. I am sure other airlines have done the same.

maybe its time to educate the travelling public on what to wear. good move for southwest for doing that.

It's anarchy I tell you. These kids are out of control!
