Man flies US Airways in women's underwear (Photo)

Six days before a college football player was arrested at San Francisco International Airport in a dispute that began when a US Airways employee asked him to pull up his sagging pants, a man who was wearing little but women's undergarments was allowed to fly the airline, a US Airways spokeswoman conceded Tuesday.

A photo of the scantily clad man was provided to The Chronicle by Jill Tarlow, a passenger on the June 9 flight from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to Phoenix. Tarlow said other passengers had complained to airline workers before the plane boarded, but that employees had ignored those complaints.

Who needs TV when we have the Internet. No one could write a script more entertaining than this.

If that freak with all his hairy sweat had settled down in a seat next to me I would have raised holy hell.

January pinup for TSA calendar. lol

[Col Frank Slade]

Weiner is back already ?

[Allegra]

EEEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!

[Cicero]

That’s just ordinary summer wear in San Francisco these days, isn’t it?

[Army Air Corps]

Doubleplus Eeeeewwww.

[F15Eagle]

Doesn’t look like he accessorized properly. No handbag?

“The View” will be soooo disappointed.

[ponygirl]

Weiner is waxed. Head to toe.

You know, I hate to think this and I don’t want to assume, but it is starting to seem to me like that college kid in Florida was single out because he’s black. If that’s the case, drop the hammer on the airline. I’ve got no tolerance for that BS.

If a drag queen can fly in that, why can a college football player be comfortable as long as everything’s covered up?

[Yaelle]

Oh no, that looks like my high school English teacher!

[dangerdoc]

Looks like he drove up from the Keys.

"I didn't see it,I didn't see it,I didn't see it,I didn't see it"

[Rebelbase]

Yep. US Air might have just screwed itself allowing this to happen so soon after the sagging pants incident.

[Ramius]

Why, oh why, did I click on this thread... ?

[Squantos]

Eaker.... You retaining water ?:o)

Stay Safe ya’ll....

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2736695/posts had a lot of discussion on this one. We had the usual “Pilots Are Gods” types out telling us they can do anything they want ~ but let me ask, what was it the pilot wanted from this guy’s presence on his plane? Ya’ definitely have to ask yourself if US Airways is playing with a partially full or maybe a crookedly stacked deck.

[KosmicKitty]

How would you like ti have the seat next to “it”??

Wonder if they let the person who did change seats??

[CharlyFord]

Looks like he drove up from the Keys.

I'll second that statement. It's not as bad as it was some years ago but one can get a surprise visiting the Keys.

[Revolting cat!]

Go, Go Little Queenie!

[muawiyah]

The answer isn't that the pilots control everything ~ seems that they have a dress code for nonrevenue ticketed passengers, but no dress code for those who are paid passengers.

You'd have to see the kid's ticket to know, but I bet it had a nonrevenue code on it.

“Amateur!” scoffed Anthony Weiner.

[harpu]

Ah yes...Key West's nightmare - FantasyFest

[Venturer]

What you are missing is the fact that Cross dressers and the LGBT have more clout than blacks.

They might get away with messing with blacks ,but when you mess with Obama’s best friends ,the LGBT you are done for.

I can assure you that freak would not have sat next to me.

[Grizzled Bear]

We’ve determined he’s a member of Congress; now we need to figure out which party...

/S (maybe)

"US Airlines is my favorite carrier."

[FReepaholic]

...If that freak with all his hairy sweat had settled down in a seat next to me I would have raised holy hell...

I might suddenly get clumsy with my cup of hot coffee.

Now to find the freeper on that “What to wear to church” when they also complained about how in the old days you would get on your finest clothes to travel by airplane.

“What do you mean - these ARE my finest clothes!”

[Eaker]

It’s the mom jeans, right?

;<)

[zerosix]

Marv Albert wanna be!

[RedEyeJack]

I saw this guy in the Reno airport about two years ago. Airline gate staff were yucking it up with him. Had on simiilar outfit (red). Got the impression he was a “frequent freaky flier”.

Man flies US Airways in women’s underwear

What US Airways was doing in women’s underwear, I’ll never know (sorry . . . just had to do that)

[ladyjane]

I don’t know why you would say that.

The pilot wanted the kid to stand up. The kid refused.

If you refuse a request by the flight crew the pilot has the final say.

[Col Frank Slade]

ewwwwww !

[OrangeHoof]

Why is someone in San Fransicko, of all places, offended by this? Maybe he was on his way to a Gay Pride march.

I presume his true purpose was to tweak the TSA screeners.

Would I want to sit next to him? Eh, no. But I'd rather sit next to him than next to someone who never wipes their butt.

[svcw]

Freak

[Route395]

How would you like ti have the seat next to “it”??

I’m sorry...I’d lock myself in the john and ride the toilet all the way before sitting next to that....

[wazoo1031]

Wonder if he’s British? It would make more sense...

[Route395]

Ridiculous!

[OldNewYork]

Note to self: never fly US Airways again.

[MHGinTN]

You mean that thing wasn't the pilot? The passengers had to endure the vision of that sick pervert cause it wasn't locked in the cockpit? What were they thinking allowing that onto the plane??????

[seowulf]

The answer isn't that the pilots control everything

I'm sure they'll find out in court who really has the final say.

[muawiyah]

I think the guy in panties and bra will win, don’t you?!

[seowulf]

I think the guy in panties and bra will win, don’t you?!

Well, he sure looks like a winner.

[seowulf]

Well, he sure looks like a winner.

Sorry, I misspelled that.

I should have said he looks like a Weiner.

[MamaB]

Because this guy is not wearing something that could
hold up the line if they had to get off the plane. Safety was one of the main reasons they kicked that other guy off. I don’t want to be sitting next to either one!

[LizardQueen]

I wonder if they patted him down or made him go through the nudie scanner? There’s not a lot of places to hide weapons in that outfit.
