Passenger Dress Code Coming to a Plane Near You

[Hum]

From skirts too short, to pants too low, some passengers are learning the hard way that their wardrobe can keep them grounded.

Several high profile incidents have flyers rights groups calling on airlines to publish dress codes just as clearly as ticket fares and baggage restrictions.

"People aren't mind readers,? says Kate Hanni, executive director of FlyersRights.org. ?They don't know what that flight attendant's going to want to see when you get on a plane!"

She argues the lack of consistency leaves passengers exposed to the judgments of the flight crew, who may take offense at clothing that wouldn't be considered indecent off the plane, but which leads to an argument and sometimes ends with the passenger getting kicked off. Such an incident happened in San Francisco this past June, when a college football player?s low hung pants- and his refusal to pull them up- caused his controversial removal from the plane.

Most airlines agree that the people running the flight need to know passengers will do what they?re told.

"In the end, the flight crew is in charge of the aircraft, and they have to make judgments based on what they think is going to create the safest and most comfortable environment for everyone on the airplane,? says Virgin America CEO David Cush.

In the airlines view, passengers removed from flights because of their wardrobe became a risk.

Airline operators say if passengers wear appropriate travel clothes, and flight attendants are more tolerant, everyone can have a nice flight. But that's not good enough for advocates who want it in writing, so there's no confusion about what flies, and what doesn't.

If you can't be tolerant of how other people dress, maybe you shouldn't be a flight attendant...

As long as all parts below the neck are covered, dosen't seem to matter what you wear. :laugh:

Meh, what people wear I don't care about, what I do care about are people with bad BO - that is more offensive than any badly constructed fashion could ever do to my senses.
