Teenagers Make Discrimination Claims Against Southwest

Did the Airline Hate Them Cuz They're Beautiful?

June 4, 2008

Earlier this year, two 18-year-old women claimed that Southwest flight attendants discriminated against them on a cross country flight. The reason? Because "nobody else on the plane looked like us, except us." They alleged that they were treated differently and refused service because they were good looking, young women and the crew was just jealous. (Forget the fact that one of them got into an altercation with another passenger on the plane over a bathroom dispute.) These two claimed that they did nothing to warrant getting escorted off the plane by four uniformed police officers, but what do you think?

I think it will take one hell of a reality check for these two

And additionally I totally agree with CasaSugar, this is pretty inane when you consider what they COULD be covering..

Sounds like two useless teenage tarts with inflated egos hoped to get famous the easy way, if you ask me.... Their looks were average, at best, and when she actually listed that as her assumed reason for being "mistreated".....I was like "uhh... right." Besides anyone knows who flies that they usually won't pass out beverages until the plane is up and past the takeoff stage. If Little Miss Ego was so thirsty, she could have spent 2 bucks on a bottle before she boarded, hmmz?

of course they were escorted off, many witnesses on the flight said that the blond one started yelling at someone in the bathroom for supposedly taking too long and once he got out she verbally attacked him you cant cause a scene on a plane your ass is just ASKING to get kicked off.

I'm also, as usual, disappointed with the nightly news for wasting time on these wastes of space instead of on legitimate stories! Boo on both ends. :(

I wanted to smack those 2 back to reality when I heard about this awhile back.

I guess codes of conduct do not apply to these two. I'm over the "I'm beautiful" defense. That crap doesn't fly with me.

Those chicks sound demented. I've flown cross country on Southwest and didn't have not one problem.

I forget what exactly happened, but there was a legitimate reason why they were escorted off. I can't believe that people really think like these girls. What a waste of brain space. :oy:

I'm looking for an airline that discriminates against people who aren't attractive. Who doesn't hate having to sit next to frumpy old hags, geeky pale dungeons & dragons losers or ugly kids? Then they want to talk to you?!?! Maybe they could have section in the back for the non-attractive. ;)

They actually arent that pretty. They are average looking Not as hot as they THINK they are.

Obviously stupid, spoiled bitches. Southwest should counter-sue them and their parents for being self-entitled brats.

They're making the assumptions everyone considers someone who looks like the type of person to pose in a skimpy bikini for their myspace picture beautiful. And with that hair and makeup, really? Am I supposed to be jealous of their tackiness and lack of grace?

Idiots! They aren't even all that! There are a lot of beautiful people in the world and if Southwest did that to all of them, no one would be on their planes!!! Get a life!!!

...I love Southwest! I dealt with some of the friendliest people on that airline (both staffers and patrons)!!!
