Matt interviewed Kyla Ebbert, a 23-year-old college student who works as a waitress at Hooters. Two months ago, she boarded a Southwest Airlines flight from San Diego to Tucson. Before the flight took off, she was escorted into the jetway by a customer service representative, who asked her to change clothes. She didn't have any other clothes with her -- she had no luggage -- so the customer service rep told her to go home and change, then get a later flight. She said she had an appointment that she couldn't change, so after getting a lecture on appropriate attire, she was allowed to re-board the plane. But once back in her seat, she had to cover her legs with a blanket for the entire flight. Kyla wore the same outfit to the show this morning. At first, when she appeared on the set, it didn't seem like her outfit was so inappropriate. It was clear that her skirt was pretty short, but it didn't seem worthy of getting a lecture from a customer service representative on how to dress. But when she sat down, we learned just how short that skirt was -- when she flashed our national television audience. Yeah, that skirt was short. So there are a lot of questions here. What is appropriate dress for flying? Who should decide what is appropriate? Should airlines have a dress code? And without a dress code, can an airline block someone from flying? Southwest did, in fact, let her take the flight, but apparently not without embarrassing her and making a scene. It seems like unless there was a particular incident or complaint from other customers, then she should have been allowed to fly without any issues. But as we learned this morning, that skirt was indeed pretty short.

And yet all of the talk generated will be of the blurred out crotch shot.
I'd submit that "the look" is due to poor plastic surgery. She has dimples in her face that look more like accidents.
As far as the outfit? Stupid...maybe even slutty. The hip bones jutting out at me just flip a switch in me that turns me right off to the style. Yuck. Good looking hips aren't "bony". If I want bony thighs, I'll make a stop at "Kentucky Fried Chicken".
A "fashion crime", probably. I'd throw the damned Imam off first, myself...
No way that ‘skirt’ would cover her bum when she sat down. It’s a hygiene issue. Double that if she was wearing thong underwear.
You are absolutely right: its a hygiene issue, too. These types of women often wear thong underwear. Southwest Airline just proved it to their customers that they care about their aircraft seats hygiene. I will fly with them as much as possible.

I rather sit next to that gir; than the anxious looking smelly guy wtih the beard and the turbin anyday!!!
The mental image of someone having to check their seat from now on is going to make me vomit.
Yes, mostly tasteless and slutty. She looks like one of those cheep ones from street corners or truck stops.
Yes, the second picture is a nice balance to the first one. (post 43).
They serve food there??
I cant blame you for that feeling. I always check the seats, and when I see dubious things I ask for another seat, but it is getting harder to do that. Thanks God, I am not a frequent flyer.
Notice how many posters here fantasize about what she may have been wearing under her “skirt” and what might have been showing when she was on the plane? Then I guess it’s better to have them in a healthy discussion group rather than visiting porn sites.
It’s not the years,it’s the mileage that wears them out...
I saw the interview when it aired. Early on she shows you some polyester, which is what got my attention to watch the rest.
Oh, you’ll be fine. Just give it a good sniff before you sit. :)
Forget skirts. I firmly believe that any sweaty 300-pounder wearing a tank top who sits next to you should be punished by public flogging.
The answer is simple, but not at all obvious to dense Liberal journalism types. An airline is a private business. They can choose not to serve someone.
