boycotts shouldn’t be the only way to keep corporations in line. when a company is violating people’s civil rights ( as the naacp was suggesting american airlines had been doing ) or otherwise breaking the law they should be held legally responsible.
i know i shouldn’t hold my breath, but at the same time - companies can’t be allowed to simple write their bad behavior off as the cost of doing business. ( like a boycott does. )
Well now I have a real dilemma. I was literally less than 24 hours from spending $2500 on American and now I don’t want to. But my only realistic alternative is United. What to do?
I can sum this up in one acronym: MAAGA
That’s a pretty good reason to have blankets available, but unless the flier is a toddler it doesn’t seem to be a good reason to force someone to don a blanket.
Please don’t put words in my mouth, I didn’t suggest that there is ever any reason to force someone’s dress, only that local climate is a reason that people often wear light clothing despite airplane temperatures. My point was that a flight attendant assigned to an island run will not be seeing this for the first time.
As for airplane blankets, yecch. They are often repackaged without washing.
Wait, what? You mean you just let someone make their own life choices and didn’t call them out and didn’t call the police and you didn’t even tell them they were making bad choices, and there were no consequences?!? How could that be? Surely nobody would call people out, call the police, or tell other people that they’re making bad choices unless it had some kind of positive effect, right?
Oh my god. I think you just broke the Internet.

A couple of times I’ve seen women wearing tank tops and shorts who were allowed onto flights, although those women weren’t as full-figured as the good doctor. Perhaps in this case the ‘facial recognition software’ was running in the minds of the flight attendants, and they just didn’t like what (as in who) they saw.
She should have just told them it was a mermaid costume and then everybody would have been fine with it, right. Right!?
Holy shit. I was born and raised in a place so hot in the summer that in a recent heat wave the sprinklers in a mall were activated because the system thought there was a fire. I literally lived in front of a beach and routinely saw people in skimpy two pieces and all shapes of men in speedos crossing sidewalks.
I have never, ever, jamais en ma vie, ever seen such a complete disregard for any other human being or such total lack of hygiene in a public place. This is a whole new level of not giving a fuck. I’m impressed.
Welcome to the Boingz, L.H.
Came here for this. Same goes for sweatpants.
Ditto.
I commend you, good sir or madam.
Edit to add -
The entire ordeal is just unacceptable. The flight attendants should also be reprimanded. She is going to win any lawsuit she pursues but it will not fix the humiliation the airline caused for her mentally.
The airline will issue a formal public apology, then privately commend the gate personnel and flight attendants involved for accurately gauging the unstated company policy and carrying it out with vigor. They will no doubt get promotions and bonuses. American does not understand the legal definition of “common carrier” nor do it want to. At the rate that airlines go bankrupt, I can only pray that American is next, with no golden parachutes for the execs and no severance for the rank and file degraders who are “only following orders”.
UN-American Airlines.
That pattern is tie dye for?
Still not funny 
I don’t like the print. But inappropriate? They can go fuck themselves.
Maybe both…
It’s like Sophie’s Choice. That said, as shitty as American is, I think United is even worse.
If Southwest dont fly there… Drive or take a boat. U will have a better experience.
