The woman who was too sexy for Southwest Airlines appeared on the Today Show this morning in the outfit she was wearing on the flight.
It’s just really not offensive at all. Tacky, yes, but white denim isn’t illegal. Neither is flashing a little bit of your underwear as you sit down. Kyla assured Matt Lauer that she had her legs crossed and wasn’t showing off her… you know.
If this outfit is enough to get you a public lecture from a flight attendant we must have missed the part where they constantly publicly humiliate men for rampant exposed butt crack. Does that take place during the safety lecture? We never pay attention.
Southwest gave the Today Show a statement:
“Southwest Airlines was responding to a concern about Ms. Ebbert’s revealing attire on the flight that day. As a compromise, we asked her to adjust her clothing to be less revealing, she complied, and she traveled as scheduled. When a concern is brought to our Employees’ attention, we address that situation directly with the Customer(s) involved in a discreet and professional manner. Fortunately, as an airline that carries approximately 96 million Customers a year, these situations are extremely rare.”
Kyla isn’t happy with that statement and is still looking for an apology.

Man Claims Southwest Humiliated Him By Pulling Him Off Flight Because He’s Overweight
These women with fake breasts and fake tans (oompaloompa orange) are sickening. Whatever happened to leaving something up to the imagination? You can dress cute and sexy without looking like a dime store whore. Notice she said she was humiliated and made the center of attention, and then you see how she was dressed and you wonder what she thinking. Oh well…she had her 5 minutes of fame and now we can get back to what’s really important in life.
@fairywench: And its good to be reminded that some women have that same lack of respect for other women as well. “LOOK like an Attention whore”? “that’s a result of her having her hips liposuctioned (to go with her fake mammaries.)” So you think she’s an attention whore plastic surgury addict based just on her looks. You must be a fattie then to have such disdain for her just from her looks. One might even say Auto-mysoginistic…
I’ve already stated how stupid this was and Southwest definitely sucked on this one. Ok, there’s my little on-topic part to keep things legit…
Now… I wonder why this subject brought out all the shallow & stupid comments? Is everyone who said she’s ugly an employee of Hollister or something? Wow.
Wait so people dont find the fact that yoou can see everything underneath the skirt offensive?
So you dont mind if little kids see her “thing” ?
Wow ,Why not just let her walk onto the plane naked.
Somebody before my comment mentioned that the today show actually had to grey out by the skirt.
are there any HQ shots of her face? Because everytime I see at shots of this girl, I think she looks 40 and not 23.
Doesn’t everyone see that the white blouse is pulled down over the top of the short skirt. If worn normally the middrift was exposed, along with a thong. The skirt itself is only 5 or 6 inches in length.
Maybe wear this to a beach party or a dark bar. Have a little class, even if it’s pretending
The flight attendant was probably just jealous that she wasn’t as attractive as her.
@majortom1981: Only if you’re looking at the “crotchal region” would you see everything that’s up the skirt… and you’re laying on your back on the ground.
If people desire to be offended they will be, no matter how big the stretch is.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha! This is the standard ::UNIFORM:: *in and out of work* of every female under aged 30 in California. I think it’s the only kind of clothing they sell at Old Navy and Target for women.
@CDE Her boobs are obviously fake. If you can’t tell, well, I’m sorry, but it’s obvious. It’s also obvious she’s had lipo by the fact that she has totally straight hips. No, I’m not a fatty, I’m a size 2, thank you very much, and I have six pack abs. And yet I still have hips, imagine that.
However, in spite of those things, I don’t feel the need to flash my coochie on national television. I think she’s an attention whore because of the way she’s dressed, because she flashed her underwear on national tv, because she’s doing everything possible to get even more attention, and because she works at Hooters.
And since I’m sure you won’t believe I’m not fat, here’s a link. [www.geocities.com]
(I tried to add a photo to my profile, but it said they were having server problems.
To all those who said “everyone dresses like that” – well, yeah, and all the female celebs lately have been flashing their privates everywhere, too. Doesn’t mean it’s appropriate. But as several have pointed out, look at how low she has that skirt pulled down in the photo. And even so, it barely covers.
If she didn’t want publicity, if she was embarrassed, then why is she flashing her stuff on national TV? Puh-leeeze, people!
That’s offensive? You’re kidding me. I saw girls in High School wearing less than that.
@Papa Midnight:
You did? Did you go to a nudist school? Cause when she sits down it that skirt, she’s got no secrets.
And as I said earlier, just because someone does it, doesn’t make it acceptable.
Does Southwest Airlines have an actual published “dress code” that passengers can see or access before boarding an aircraft?
If they don’t, what the hell can people expect to adhere to?
What the airlines employees are doing here, is choosing to be as subjective as they want with passengers because they now know that any negative response they get from a passenger can be interpreted under the new anti-terrorist as “interfering with” or “intimidating” a flight crew member (Federal Law, US Code § 46504). You can automatically be considered a terrorist suspect. Even stating your concerns or position can be interpreted as they please.
It is most likely that all flight crew members have received training and updates from the airlines in the specifics of this new law.
Even something as innocuous as this young woman’s attire can be turned into a confrontation that could get someone arrested as a terrorist suspect depending on whether or not a particular flight attendant wants to use their training to be a hard-ass and push someone into the bad choice of responding negatively in a conjured-up situation.
Be very careful how you respond to airlines employees if you are challenged about anything.
