Thanks for doing the appropriate thing Southwest. In today's culture the if it feels good to me mentality often overrides the sensibilities of others who try to instill with morals. Several points to be made:
- It's public transportation on a budget. For all those business people that said, no more business from me? I doubt you're a business person, and to equate proper attire to the girl's too skimpy outfit deems you more of a closet ogler than a professional. If you're willing to go pay more money from other airlines, then I would also question your business acumen.
- Those who say what would you do about all the visions of girls on the beach in skimpier clothing? I'd do what I do now, I won't take my kids there. There. Problem solved. You know what? It was my choice.
- The problem with comparing this to IRAQ or the Taliban or ISLAM is that those countries BEAT or IMPRISON people. That's not the same as requesting someone wear appropriate attire and board another flight, or cover up with a blanket.
- In this age of Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears flashing we apparently have lost our moral compass, and rather than be appalled, many are looking for the next titillating thing. Go find it elsewhere. Not on an airline.
In the end, all of the single college males, and college sorority girls that are posting offense to this, don't forget that It's extremely profitable to cater to families. My family of 5 has to buy 10 tickets for a round trip flight. You and you're boyfriend or girlfriend have to buy 4. That's a differential of 6 extra tickets that I'm paying for.
It's not just moral sense, it's good business sense.
