It is difficult to be able to police an issue such as this one, and it is difficult to understand what really happened after so much publicizing of the issue. However, one fundamental question is can an airline ask someone to change their personal attire because of other passengers or even flight attendants concerns? In seeing images of her skirt it is quite easy to understand that she would have been very revealing when she sat down, especially if the skirt was not pulled down as it was in the photos. As a male I appreciate Southwests concern about the appropriateness of a passengers attire when it crosses social boundaries. So I think Southwest not only had the right to ask her to change, but had an obligation to ask if they were being culturally sensitive to the other passengers. Thank you. As to how the "lecture" and the incident was handled that is something that none of us are able to comment on because we were not there to observe it and have not heard both sides of the story.
