Southwest Airlines Community

I will do my best never to fly SWA again. Travel is tough enough as it is on all of us, including the staff, without this nonsense. I have seen FAR more objectionable showing of skin on airlines that no one would dare comment on for fear of being, um, politically incorrect. Let's just say sometimes "low rise" really is too low and "muffin tops" do not always refer to an early morning snack. Don't see anyone throwing those folks off. Thumbs down, SW - thank goodness I have a choice when choosing an airline. ... View more

I am disgusted by Southwest. As a frequent flier (NOT on SWA), I have endured INNUMERABLE hassles, inconveniences, & unpleasantness - especially this summer, that what someone is wearing is the LEAST of my worries. Further, knowing we endure these daily hassles, your staff should be BENDING OVER BACKWARDS to make us comfortable, not giving us attitude. There are so many REAL problems with air travel these days (overburdened & archaic ATC, incompetent & rude airline staff, clueless passengers, over-scheduled pilots (which SW ought to know something about...) that I could care less about a girl in a short skirt. First of all, I have seen MANY more women and even more alarming, younger girls wearing WAY more inappropriate outfits. SW's inconsistency on this is ridiculous. Second of all, I don't see any airlines throwing off fat men who show their butt cracks when straining to stuff their packs in the overhead! Surely a butt crack right out in the open would be enough to disrupt one of your uptight staff's moral compass! Further, should there be a ban on fat hairy bellies sticking out from underneath shirts? Now there's something I could get behind. Or better yet, a weight restriction on those allowed to wear tank tops...or is a fat sweaty, hairy armpit in your face less objectionable than a pretty girl in a short skirt?! ... View more
