34 Comments on Woman made to cover up by American Airlines for “inappropriateness”
I’m sure it was racism

But Sea World is in Orlando???

garish, tasteless … absolutely … inappropriate? … not by standard set since the ’70’s, but …
sadly, standards have been wrecked … there are no standards anymore. you wear what you want … please try to respect others in your choice of public garb (a request, not an order) … frankly, I hate pj’s in public … but, I’m all for halter tops 😛
how much further do we go to demanding burkas?
if you want to enforce a dress code make it iron-clad rigid, else there is wiggle room for ‘interpretation’
… the pendulum swings…

The shorts barely cover her bulbous, gelatinous butt cheeks and her flabby, pendulous milk cans are one stowing of luggage in the overhead compartment away from a wardrobe malfunction. I can smell her greasy, 6 months of unwashed weave through the computer screen. Eewwww…she needs a shower and some decent clothing. I

Flashy and attention getting sure but…she’s going on vacation in Miami! I don’t think it looks that bad.

Are you sure she isn’t going to Disney World to fight her relatives in the streets of Tomorrowland?

Big Mamma-Jamma gots a supreme cushion for pushin.
Those twigs be jealous they ain’t got that pulchritude.

They couldn’t spare a paper bag for her to use over her head for the flight?

Honestly, she has an argument that she was unfairly targeted. I see nothing that would cause a second look if on a public street.

If being ugly and tasteless is inappropriate then they’ll have a whole lot of empty seats on the planes. She blends right in with the usual trash you’re squeezed into a plane with.

Gee Wally, how come no one said anything when Michelle raided Cindy Lauper’s clothes hamper!
I thought Moose Obama only flew charter and private flights.

Not a great look but I guess airline wanted to have some bad publicity and a minor payout.

Did Mike Obama loose some weight?

She be tacky, das all.

…one thing I did NOT see in the article was the name of the flight attendant. Could be a factor if it’s Fatima or Ashura or Mohammad…

…I’m actully MORE concerned that this is a DOCTOR. As in MD doctor. Your clothes say a lot about your mental state, and this speaks volumes.
… I don’t know if she dresses this way at the office, but I would not be surprised. Ever since Obamacare chased all the GOOD doctors out, I’ve noticed that the current crop seems WAY more dubious in every regard. I’ve gone back and forth with my wife about HER primary, who wears open-toed high heels in the office, dresses like a tart, it also gets butthurt if he sees any other doctor for any other reason. I grew up in an era that expected a professional appearance in a professional person, and when I ran squad it was hammered into me that I was representing both my city and the medical profession whenever I acted in a professional role, and even though I was a very low-level practitioner I and all of us were still expected to dress, act, and comport ourselves as competent professionals at all times. This was to calm and reassure patients mostly, but when you put on a uniform you also put on a persona to match, so the outfit does help remind YOU of what you are and what is expected of you at all times, so in a very real sense, the clothes DO make the man.
Or the woman.
…granted, she was NOT in the role of a doctor when she got on the plane as a passenger, so it was not gemaine to the story at that point; however, she did feel SHE needed to bring her status as a doctor into the story herself and that made her appearance an issue and a reflection on the entire medical community when it didn’t NEED to be.
…perhaps I’m old-fashioned, but watch an old movie with air travel in it and refect on how people looked, acted, and dressed when air travel was an EVENT abd VERY expensive besides, and compare that to the airborne bad neighborhoods we have NOW.
…reflect too on having this quivering burlesque show pressed against you in an airless little aluminum tube for hours, particularly when she drags her exposed flesh past you to go to the loo. Not pleasant, should be more dignifed and respectful of other people. I don’t wear shorts, flip-flops, and a wife-beater when I travel, and am kind of disgusted when someone else, male or female, dresses like they’re going out for a brew and a smoke. Have SOME dignity, people.
…all that said, there’s NO reason she can’t be on a plane. I’ve seen FAR worse. And I don’t recall Virgin Atlantic Airlines putting any of their transvesties off THEIR plane for MUCH worse. Arbitrary standards are arbitrary, and as such unpredictable, un-quantifiable, and inconsistent; therefore, they should NOT be used.

I should look so good!

…personally, I’m offended by niqabs, burkas, hijabs, and other instruments of female oppression. Were I a flight attendant, could I insist that THESE women UNcover until I’m comfortable that they are not a threat and don’t offend MY personal sensibilites?
…yeah, that’s what I THOUGHT…

Looks like Michelle tucked her “tail” between her legs.

Frankly the adult losers waddling around the airports and boarding wearing pajamas, slippers, robes and carrying half their bedding are far more offensive and disturbing than this outfit. Why anyone is allowed service in public wearing pajamas and robes is beyond me. And who wants someone’s bedding next to them. Gross.

Other than looking like she’s stuffed in a sausage casing, there’s not much wrong with it.

And we wonder why they keep coming home with a kid but never a father.

When flying any distance, you should dress for temperatures where you arrive, not were you bored from.

I’m with Illustr8r . The outfit doesn’t bother me. The average female size these days is something like a 14 or 16. I would much rather sit by her or have her in my field of vision that some guy who appears to be 16 months pregnant with twins. I’m tired of belly whoppers using their enormous guts to shove people out of the way rather than saying a polite ‘excuse me.’

As long as they charged her for two seats

As a Captian with a major Atlanta based airline, I once had a passenger get on in LaGuardia with a ballcap that said “VAGINA FRIENDLY”.
Flight attendants were offended so I told the guy, remove the hat or take the next flight. He chose the first option.
Found out later that apparently the guy worked for THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES troupe and thought it was OK.

If I’m going to be on an airplane longer than a couple of hours, I’m going for comfort — but not in my sweats or pj’s. There are lots of comfortable clothing alternatives to looking like The People of Walmart. Besides, the interior of an airplane can get pretty cold if you’re, uh, under dressed.

But Miley Cyrus can mimic f’king on stage or just in public in general, and that’s art.

It could be a size or three bigger. Just because you can squeeeeze into something doesn’t mean it’s the right size, but so many women do that now. Wobbling sausage rolls and cellulite aren’t a good look for anyone. That said, it’s as appropriate for flying as most of the other get-ups you see in the airport anymore. The crew was wrong.

Go to the Atlanta airport. This fat ass porker looks better than most.
But, but, the standards are a lot different at Walmart.
I’m sure it was racism
