Quote From: norewindWhen I fly, I fly exclusively on Southwest (about twelve or more roundtrips per year for last several years). My impression of Southwest as a company is sheer admiration [they manage to post a plus while having lowest fares on the market, when other airlines go under, and my experiences with their employees are great: professional, cheerful, relaxed, courteous, knolwedgeable and friendly. Based on my experiences, I am ready to flatly not believe that their appearanve had nothing to do with the reason they were denied boarding or banned from using Southwest. If loud cussing and aggressive behavior toward staff or fellow passengers was involved, then that is a valid reason and the girls have nobody but themselves to blame for it. I hope Southwest representative is heard in the Dr.Phil show when it airs in my area on Friday this week. Pretty sure that will be the case, Dr, Phil has the reputation of being fair and unbiased in discussing problems.
I've flown Southwest MANY times and consider myself young and decent looking (I don't consider myself ugly). I've never once been thrown off SWA, but then again I'm usually not enibriated (sp?) in public places either. I have a hard time believing those girls were thrown off the flight for their "good looks" alone. This is all about getting the spotlight so they can end up paparazzi magnets (and then complain about it when their "lady parts" show up in trash mags). Do we really need (or want) another Britney Spears, making a business out of "wh**ring it up"? Is this some kind of "how messed up can I make my life" peeing contest for attention?
And they make women in general look bad. We're not B's and W's- that's what they're selling. The party girl image (not all of it, just the stupid Barbie sh**) portrays women as primitive, stupid, ignorant, arrogant, inconsequential, shallow, vain, unproductive, and self-limiting. And they get attention for it? No, screw that! How about respecting yourself enough not to desperately need someone else's approval that you'll grovel and demean yourself to get it? How bout THAT?
