Pretty bitchy, if you ask me -

“I think they were just discriminating against because we were young decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us,” she said. “[The flight attendants] were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger.”

You don't get interrogated by the FBI for two hours for being pretty.

You don't get banned from EVER flying Southwest Airlines again and left stranded in Los Angeles because you're pretty.

I think there's something more to "created a disturbance" here - whaddya think?

I fly Southwest all the time. No, seriously. ALL the time.

The stuff I see them put up with? I have a hard time believing they're as nasty as claimed.

And to be banned from flying an airline at the age of 18? What the heck did they actually DO? Something tells me the airline is actually being pretty kind not saying anything publicly - something truly stinks here, and I don't think it's the airline.

I share your skepticism.

One suspects they swallowed the evidence of whatever they were doing.
It takes a *lot* to tick off a flight crew.
Also, there's probably surveillance footage of it, whatever they were doing.
Somebody's Daddy is going to be pretty mad, no?

A Southwest Airlines crew? Good grief. That's nearly impossible.

I spent two years at the hotel watching the Southwest folks come and go every night and morning. They were almost all of them pleasant, good-humoured, and patient with things that weren't convenient for them, like us closing the kitchen just before they got there each night. Even the ones who drank too much when they were off-duty weren't obnoxious. Unlike Continental crews... and Northwest crews too, for that matter... Southwest was a joy.

Exactly. There's a good reason for their ban and I'm sure Southwest is being polite by not giving more of the reason. But I agree, there's definitely a good reason they were asked never to fly their airline.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop too...

Extremely kind, I'm sure.

I agree. Someone is withholding the dirt, and it's not the girls. I love SouthWest!
