T-shirt woman kicked off Southwest flight to sue
SNIP
A spokesman for Southwest Airlines (JUNK) told CNN that the airline used the "common sense" approach when they decided to escort Heasley from the plane in Reno, Nevada, during a stopover between Los Angeles and Portland, Ore. SNIP === If this was soooooo offensive and passengers were soooo outraged, WHY was she let on to the plane to begin with? AND, nobody saw her "offensive" shirt before she boarded the plane? Too bad we won't see this on A&E. JDR |

Too bad we won't see this on A&E. It pays to read the thread..... Apparently, she wore a jacket when boarding the first leg, and removed it. According to WN, had she (a) put the jacket back on, or (b) changed shirts, she would have been allowed to continue. As with any other public accommodation, WN must exercise reasonable judgement. In this case, the airline's agent or the a/c's pilot determined that the Tshirt was likely to give offense to other passengers, a situation which under the cover of appearance or conduct can get you kicked off any number of carriers. Any of us might individually consider the "judgement" as other than reasonable, but WN isn't "any of us" and must act under consistent policies which are not discriminatory toward any speacial class and in the opinion of the airline are likely to be acceptable to a jury of 12 (or enough of the 12 to keep WN from having to pay damages). In this case, during which a modest adjustment/return to original dress would have prevented the potential problem, WN's skirts are likely quite clean. TMO |

A variety of previous posts in the thread, to all of which you seem to have avoided any exposure..... I guess you just take as the gospel truth everything that is said in messages to this thread. Someone says: I heard that she wore a jacket when she boarded the first leg..." You then take that statement and come up with: "Apparently, she wore a jacket when boarding the first leg, and removed it". According to WN, had she (a) put the jacket back on, or (b) changed shirts, she would have been allowed to continue. Can you cite a source for this quote from WN?
