Southwest Airlines, the proud sexists who nearly kicked a woman off of a flight because they deemed her outfit inappropriate, are at it again.
A second woman is complaining after an airline took issue with her sexy attire.
Setara Qassim said she was flying home to Burbank, Calif., from Las Vegas in June when a Southwest Airlines flight attendant gave her a blanket and told her to cover up.
"The flight attendant came up to me and asked me if I had a sweater, and I said, 'No, because why would I pack a sweater in the heat?'" Qassim said. "So I asked her why, and she said I needed to cover up."Am I the only one who finds it interesting that both women that Southwest has harassed have been well-endowed in the boobie department?
