The hell? I can’t really imagine an airline discriminating against a passenger because of their looks – let alone because they’re “too good looking.” Clearly, there was some kind of disturbance onboard, the extent of which I have no idea. But, the girl clearly admits to her traveling companion getting into a verbal altercation with another passenger. Her valley girl “omigawd” attitude doesn’t help.
Oh, and neither does the fact that she’s not even pretty.
Two 18 year old girls got on a Southwest flight and asked for water as soon as they boarded. She was told she could have one once the rest of the plane was served. Says she was skipped over during service. Says her friend and another passenger “exchanged profanities” over the lavatory. Says the airline only questioned them.
Airline responds saying women caused disruption on flight. Upon arrival in Los Angeles, police came on the plane and escorted them off (in front of everyone, OMG!!!)… ends with girl, looking perplexed, asking “what happened? I feel like I was discriminated on based upon my looks.”
She never alludes to anyone making any remark about her or her friend’s looks. I think this is more a case of “omigawd, I’m an innocent lil blonde girl who got questioned by the cops because my friend made a scene. What’s up with that? I like, deserve so much better.”
There was some sort of altercation between the dark haired girl and a flight attendant wherein, according to the girl, she asked for a bottle of water and was told to wait until after the other passengers were served first but never got her water.
Then another altercation happened between the blond and a man who was in the bathroom too long. She knocked on the door, he wouldn’t come out, she returned ot her seat, there was an argument.
The best part of the whole story is the news video I saw of it where the blond says ‘I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us. [The flight attendants] were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger.’
Sounds a lot like one or both of them was a raging bitch.
Kind of like that other one who claimed she did nothing wrong when SW told her that her skirt was inappropriate because it was too short. As she displayed the offending outfit on the Today Show, Matt Lauer had her stand up and sit back down. They had to blur her crotch as she sat back down because she flashed the camera. The video is out there somewhere, I’m sure. I saw it on the Today Show website.
I doubt that the cabin crew would’ve bothered making things difficult for them just because they were “too pretty.” I think they have better things to do with their time.
She looks better in the pictures than she does on the video.
Rhythmdvl: two self-proclaimed hotties got on a Southwest flight and 1) didn’t get their water right away when they asked for it; 2) got into an argument with another passenger; and 3) felt that they were being ignored by the crew and said that since nobody else on the plane “looked like us,” that apparently they were being discriminated against because of their (good) looks. Because of their argument with the other passenger, upon landing the TSA or some other law enforcement met them.
Edit: um none of those other explanations were there when I posted! You all are too fast.
I still don’t know how it is that the man who was in the restroom at the time the blond was knocking on the door managed to find her after she went back to her seat and he exited the restroom.
If she wasn’t causing a disturbance, how would the man know which passenger on the plane knocked on the restroom door?
I find it hard to believe the crew said “You have to wait until all the other passengers are served.” I can believe “You have to wait until the passengers are served.” Not “all the other” passengers.
I don’t have much to say about the alleged incident, but I did get a kick out of how the camera gave us a moving full shot of the brunette as if to say to the audience “judge for yourself”.
My RO is why the fuck is CNN running this story? It’s bad enough they sell Headline News morning show with T&A. Now they are choosing news items based on T&A factor? How fucking lame.
My local Fox news had a big expose last night too. Did anyone know that some massage parlors give happy endings. WHOA, STOP THE PRESSES! How is this news?
That was completely different. The seats on a plane all face the same damn direction; it’s physically impossible to flash someone. That was just Southwest being a bunch of overly righteous douchebags; this is two snotty little bitches playing “the hotness card”.
No, but they don’t have to. Their plane, their rules. If you don’t like the rules, don’t play the game. If I recall correctly, the woman in question was offered a full refund.
