You manage to avoid packing excessive amounts of liquids in your carry-on baggage. You remember your ID, you wait until your seat is called, you stow your bags properly. You're even prepared to turn off your electronic devices and stow your tray table and put your seat in its upright and locked position when ... you're asked to leave the plane because you're showing a little too much leg.<br /><br />Haha! What is this, 1951? Nope. It's 2007, and a few months ago waitress Kyla Ebbert (who works at Hooters, where scantily-clad is a good thing) was escorted off a Southwest Airlines flight from San Diego to Tucson because her outfit -- a miniskirt, tank top, and cropped sweater -- was too revealing (I don't see any cleavage and she <em>was</em> wearing a bra). She put up a fuss and was eventually let back on the plane after a lecture on her dress, or lack thereof.<br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: After apologizing to Ebbert, Southwest Airlines held a <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/09/14/southwests-luv-introduces-skimpy-fares-to-honor-kyla-ebbert/">fare sale in honor of miniskirts</a> -- it was fabulously popular with customers, but Kyla wasn't so pleased. To spite them -- or perhaps to take advantage of her 15 minutes of fame before it went away, leaving her still-penniless -- <a href="http://money.aol.com/news/articles/_a/sexy-flyer-lands-in-playboy/20071116065009990001">Kyla agreed to pose nude for <em>Playboy</em></a>.<br /><br /><em>Southwest Airlines has a history of questionable fashion judgment -- see here:</em> <br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/photos/southwest-airlines-wardrobe-of-the-past/">Southwest Airlines: Wardrobe of the Past</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/photos/southwest-airlines-wardrobe-of-the-past/384901/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.bloggingstocks.com/media/2007/09/hostesses_in_hotpants_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Hostesses in hotpants" title="Hostesses in hotpants" /></a><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/photos/southwest-airlines-wardrobe-of-the-past/384883/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.bloggingstocks.com/media/2007/09/cheerleader_southwest_wendykaminski_nbae_450_thumbnail.jpg" alt="NBA cheerleader shows belly button at a Southwest Airlines publicity event" title="NBA cheerleader shows belly button at a Southwest Airlines publicity event" /></a><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/photos/southwest-airlines-wardrobe-of-the-past/384764/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.bloggingstocks.com/media/2007/09/herb_kelleher_kiss_swair_willliamthomascain_450_thumbnail.jpg" alt="SW Airlines Chairman Herb Kelleher kisses employee in May 2004" title="SW Airlines Chairman Herb Kelleher kisses employee in May 2004" /></a><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/photos/southwest-airlines-wardrobe-of-the-past/384873/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.bloggingstocks.com/media/2007/09/mexi_hat_swair_sandyhuffaker_20070906_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Have giant sombrero, will fly Southwest Air" title="Have giant sombrero, will fly Southwest Air" /></a><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/photos/southwest-airlines-wardrobe-of-the-past/384767/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.bloggingstocks.com/media/2007/09/santa_southwest_scottolsen_20070906_450_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Southwest employee dressed as Santa Claus, November 2004" title="Southwest employee dressed as Santa Claus, November 2004" /></a></div><br />I'm all for appropriate clothing, but personally saw nothing in Ebbert's outfit that was cringe-worthy.
