WTF?

2nd woman: Southwest made me cover up

DALLAS - Have airline employees replaced high school deans as the arbiters of appropriate dress, or have skimpily-clad passengers forced flight attendants to act like Mother? A second young woman has come forward to claim that Southwest Airlines Co. employees made her cover up on a recent flight.

Setara Qassim told KNBC-TV in Los Angeles that a flight attendant confronted her during the trip from Tucson, Ariz., to Burbank, Calif., and asked if she had a sweater to go over her green halter-style dress.

Qassim, 21, said she was forced to wrap a blanket around herself for the rest of the flight. She complained that if Southwest wants passengers to dress a certain way, it
should publish a dress code.

I thought last week's story on Southwest was just one repressed employee going way too far, but if this is Southwest's actual policy, they are going to lose a lot of customers!

I can (barely) understand if someone is wearing something with an explicit graphic on it or something of that sort, but something this mild is completely absurd.
