Quote From: erikrisolsonTalking on the cell phone or chewing with your mouth open is the most rude thing anyone could do. I have had to work at it but my cell now gets turned off in the parking lot in order to respect others. Dinner is a time for family. Leave work at work and home at home. The chewing with your mouth open is so nasty that I would not eat with them at all.
It is not up to what South West Airlines what the customers wear. They went over board completly I would seriously consider sueing the airline for discrimination. I honestly think that airlines should accomidate parents with young children as much as possible because it is hard enought to fly with kids.
I agree with you on your first point about etiquitte, however, your second is a little frustrating to me. What about the saying "there is a time and a place for everything"? You're probably asking, "well, what about it?" She was flying to Arizona, she wasn't going to a bar to pick up guys. Get my drift?
I don't consider being told to put clothes on grounds for a law suit based on discrimination. I have CP so, when I think of discrimination I think race, ethnic background, religious conviction, physical abilities , etc. Things we can't help, not things we can like the way we dress. Once it was brought to SWA's attention, she was asked to change so apperently she was the one breaking the rules, otherwise the person who made the initial complaint would have been informed the she was within dress code.
Furthermore, it is up SWA and every other airline what their customers wear. To fly on buddy passes you HAVE TO wear the appropriate attire, no if , and's or but's. I am aware that she was not flying on a buddy pass. I just think it needs to be accross the board. I've been reading other posts that feel the same way I do and I'm wondering where are our rights to not be exposed to people who think they have a right to dress how they choose, in public no less? You can dress however you so choose in the privacy of your own home but the minute you step out into public you make it the publics business. Not to mention, what about the kids on that flight who probably unintentionally saw her underwear as well? Shouldn't parents have a right to voice their opinions if they feel someone is not dressed appropriately with their chioldren present? I think so! I would be shocked if this particular situation doesn't majorly change things in the way of dress code. It very well should.
