San Diego - A woman who boarded a flight to Arizona in a short skirt says she was led off the plane for wearing an outfit considered too skimpy.
Kyla Ebbert, 23, a student who was headed to Tucson for a doctor's appointment, said on NBC's Today show that a Southwest airline employee told her, "You're dressed inappropriately. This is a family airline. You're too provocative to fly on this plane."
"I said, 'What part is it? The shirt? The skirt? Which part?' And he said, it was the whole thing."
Ebbert was allowed back on the plane after offering to adjust her sweater but she said she was humiliated. "I felt like everybody was staring me. They had all heard him lecturing me," she said. She appeared on the Today show in the same short white skirt, white shirt and green sweater.
Chris Mainz, a spokesperson for the Dallas-based airline, said a customer service supervisor asked Ebbert to leave the plane and addressed her in the walkway leading back to the terminal, "away from the other customers".
The employee felt the outfit "revealed too much" but was placated after Ebbert made adjustments that included covering her stomach, Mainz said. - Sapa-AP
