If that were your daughter I doubt you would be so gay about her being escorted off an airplane made late for a doctor's appointment all for being beautiful. Of course I don't know you so perhaps you would be fine with it.
If my daughter showed up for a flight dressed like she just finished working 8th ave, and she was asked to cover up, I'd be fine with it. I'm not worried about that happening, since she was raised better than that.
The lady you keep referencing was asked to cover up her lady parts, and was allowed to continue to travel after doing so. It wasn't for "being beautiful", it was for being inappropriately dressed for the occasion.
I stopped flying on SW some years ago, mainly because I saw a steady rise in their fares. I could never seem to get a reasonable price for a ticket, no matter how far in advance I purchased it. Actually their fares are way overpriced now for many of their routes. Not sure how they are keeping customers. It's a shame that SW has been steadily going downhill in the past few years.

I am not getting what people are saying about Southwest. Their record in the air seems very good. They have been listed as one of the safest airlines in the Nation for many years now.
All airlines have degraded somewhat over the past 30 years due to growth and focus on profit before service. As consumers it's become very easy to price shop and we are guilty of having little brand loyalty with airlines. I for one will continue to fly SWA as I have for several decades. Ya'll haters can fly Delta or United and see how well you like tiny little RJ's with beginning pilots that make so little they can get food stamps!
My current SWA gripe is that they no longer send the email "your flight is around the corner' the day before flight. I have lost 3 reservations since they now trash / don't credit your 'no-shows'. I usually have 7-10 flights booked and forget to cancel. I certainly understand their point, (need to make seats available) BUT I appreciated their reminders.
BTW: the new web page is a Killer on dial-up (too many graphics).. Web developers must think we all live in Asia and have free High Speed internet at every location (home / work / bus / subway / airport / camping...)
I like SWA but they are making my life harder, rather than improving it.
Well then be my guest. My "hard on" with SW is it's approach to all things. Quick and dirty. If you don't like the passenger's clothing next to you get 'em kicked off. If you don't want to rely on safety inspections fly on. If you don't want to get your ass stuck in the mud with 100 people on board take the shortcut.
Be my guest.
You should start taking the train from now on.
Everything you've complained about on this thread happens to ALL airlines. You obviously have an ax to grind with SW for some reason. What did they do to you?

I was alarmed and offended when they started to kick paying passengers off their planes for the way they dressed. Their conduct in my view was far more unbecoming than anything a paying passenger ever did.
I had a lot of good flights with SWA. Now....they are on my **** list along with some other companies that think that they can do whatever they want to a public person.
I have also found that the incidents since that time (poor maintenance) have increased. I don't trade with companies who feel they can do whatever they want to a paying customer who is just showing up.

It's America now. Every body line up.
Can you share some examples of people that were kicked off because of what they wore. What was it that they were wearing that SWA did not like?
