How would you feel if an airline banned you for how you looked? According to two young women, they’ve been banned for life from flying Southwest Airlines. Sarah and Nisreen made national news when they were escorted off a plane because they say the airline had a problem with them because they were “young and decent-looking” and their flight attendants were “middle-aged.” Southwest denies treating the women unfairly because of their appearance and says the women used vulgar language, obscene gestures and aggressive behavior. Joining the conversation is Kyla, who says she was told by Southwest that her outfit was too skimpy, and two other passengers who say the airline booted them because they were women. Then, McKay is a 15-year-old on a mission to end cussing. He founded a No Cussing Club at his high school and wants to inspire others to stop swearing and examine the power of words. McKay’s campaign has even motivated his mayor to pass a proclamation for a No Cussing Week in his hometown. Don’t miss reactions from the teen’s family and classmates! If it’s happening now, Dr. Phil is going to deal with it now! Join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

03/14 Dr. Phil Now: Fly Girls

Quote From: canusee2g2bt

Wow that Kyla played it good didnt she.  She was just on months ago embarrased of how she was treated on the plain, wanted to get it out there that swa didnt treat her right on her flight.  Yet she was talking about 15 min of fame, while showing a pic of herself posing for playboy.  Are you kidding me?  She was so smug and full of it. 
I thought that very same thing. After going on her own talk show circuit, including a previous Dr Phil show, and posing for Playboy, she accuses those two of seeking "15 minutes" of fame. At least they covered their breasts today. As for Dr Phil calling her a "bombshell," if I were Robin, he'd be skating on some mighty thin ice.

Enough already!!

I am disappointed that Dr. Phill is ginving these girls another forum!  They come accross as a bunch of spoiled brats hoping to get $$$ from the airline.

 

I hate to fly but trust me, the next time I have to, Southwest Airlines will be my first choice.

Fly Girls

Dr Phil,

I've had enough!  Can’t watch any more… 

 I'm a flight attendant with a different airline and I just can't listen to this nonsense any more.  If you ever want to experience the truth of how these too pretty to fly girls become too ugly to fly in 10 seconds.  Let me know... 

We are no longer just waitress\waiters in the sky but nurses, therapist, police persons, nannies, etc., what are we to do?  What are our rights?  Have we so easily forgotten 911?

A very sad JFK based FA,

Nellie

 

PS Please don't misunderstand me, I do love my job...

OH PLEASE !!!

    Since Southwest Airlines had only two destinations and the flight attendents wore Hot Pants and knee boots.... I have never been treated badly by any employee ... I have flown on a Southwest flight  where a passenger died mid air over Arizona .... Out of a entire plane full of people only myself and a friend and one doctor praised the flight crew with letters to then CEO Herb Kellaher .... We received replies .... I do not envy flight attendents .... they have a plane full of people to protect while flying and they are also under government regulations to abide by the law .... I also have a friend who is a flight attendent for Southwest .... the stories I have heard make me wonder why she decided to be a flight attendent .... Yet she loves her job .... After watching today's show I still will continue to fly Southwest .... I'm no prom queen but I work at a University here in Texas and oh the stories I could tell .....

THANK YOU Southwest Airlines

Quote From: notthisagain

Nice work, Southwest Airlines. I will be loyal to your airlines forevermore. These self-absorbed brats shouldn't be allowed on your flights. The first two were limiting other's rights with their poor behavior. What about the rights of the other passengers? We don't need or want their behavior on our flights. Big thanks to the flight attendants for protecting the rights of other passengers!!
Loud behavior, including cell phones. MUST be banned from public ears and eyes. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.  I love you and your service.

No reason to be upset

I see no reason for these Young Girls to be upset. Im sure there was a good reason for their being asked to  leave the plane that they wish not to discuss or don't remember.

I Flew United Last Year and a Flight Attendant was very rude to me as I got on the plane. I just explained to her that I was to inform her I was going thru Chemotherapy and might need some assistance. She responded with.... Well everyone has a story don't they and was rude several times after to the point I was in tears and had to request the Supervisor who assured me that the problem would be taken care of when the plane landed. I'm sure the problem wasn't handled properly.  Lifes to short! I think they just expected to receive compensation beyond what they deserve!  Get over it Girls!

PRETTY IS, AS PRETTY DOES?

 I know I'm gonna catch it for this. I used to fly quite often. I never had an experience nor have I ever witnessed anyone being treated the way these girls claim. Sounds to me like someone needs to make good use of a good old wood shed! If they want attention..give them some!

These gals are rough and ready. Not so pretty on the outside nor on the inside.   Women?    No, they are immature, misclassified as adults.

cussing

Today's society has gotten crude, rude and very lazy.  It doesn't take much to think of another way to express your anger or disapproval.  The student that cussed in class should be kicked out of class.  People use foul language because they are intellectually weak and this is the easiest way for them to express their anger.  Shame on them.  We have become way too accustomed to hearing bad language so we don't respond to it anymore.  Shame on all of us.
