Seems the lovely &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hooters.com/home.aspx&quot;&gt;Hooters&lt;/a&gt; waitress -turned &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/11/16/kyla-ebbert-in-playboy-15-minutes-prolonged-by-southwests-savv/&quot;&gt;Playboy model &lt;/a&gt;was considered inapproprately dressed for her flight from San Diego to Tuscon and she was asked to change outfits or get off the plane. Well that was then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh wait, is it now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jpraKdA9fZY/ToKEboxIO6I/AAAAAAAABdQ/a_B-OhuICQw/s1600/Southwest+airplane.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;148&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jpraKdA9fZY/ToKEboxIO6I/AAAAAAAABdQ/a_B-OhuICQw/s320/Southwest+airplane.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; alt=&quot;Southwest+airplane.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Yeah, in a bit of deja vu all over again, actress&nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0354157/&quot;&gt;Leisha Hailey&lt;/a&gt; is whining about being asked to step off a flight out of Baltimore for engaging in some kissy-kissy with her girlfriend that some other passengers apparently found too-too much. That in itself wouldn&#039;t have sent the ladies packing. Leisha apparently matched the airline&#039;s purple and orange livery by letting loose with some colorful words of her own when a flight attendant told the couple to cool their jets, or Flight 2274 would be one jet the BFFs &lt;i&gt;wouldn&#039;t&lt;/i&gt; be traveling on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Change the name, change the problem, airlines telling passengers they can&#039;t fly seems to be cropping up on a near-weekly basis. It happens often on Southwest, but &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Woman-Kicked-off-Delta-Flight-After-Accusing-Pilot-Of-Drinking-99890364.html&quot;&gt;Delta&lt;/a&gt;,&nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/peninsula/2011/07/deshon-marman-sue-us-airways-after-saggy-pants-arrest&quot;&gt;US Airways&lt;/a&gt;&nbsp;and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flyjazz.ca/&quot;&gt;Air Canada Jazz&lt;/a&gt;&nbsp;have had their moments too. And I&#039;m wondering if the airlines are involved in a diabolically clever plot to keep us passengers off-guard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we don&#039;t know exactly what behavior or dress will get us asked to deplane prior to departure, will we all just start acting and dressing better when traveling by air?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5AWqWT2Fvrw/ToKIRXynxHI/AAAAAAAABdY/xrkox2a5hLA/s1600/flight+attendants+show.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5AWqWT2Fvrw/ToKIRXynxHI/AAAAAAAABdY/xrkox2a5hLA/s320/flight+attendants+show.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; alt=&quot;flight+attendants+show.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;At the risk of bringing up &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/pan-am&quot;&gt;Pan Am&lt;/a&gt; the television show &lt;a href=&quot;http://christinenegroni.blogspot.com/2011/09/when-airlines-were-on-top-of-world.html&quot;&gt;one more time&lt;/a&gt;, let me just suggest that in the not-too distant past, people didn&#039;t board airplanes wearing tee-shirts with the F-word emblazoned on them. They didn&#039;t reveal their underpants beneath teeny tiny skirts, or from above low-slung pants. Nor for that matter did people wear pajamas when they traveled, unless of course the traveler was pint-sized and the PJ&#039;s had feet and a snap crotch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, these choices are a product of the modern-age. Airlines, struggling to&nbsp;manage the&nbsp;sensibilities&nbsp;of an&nbsp;eclectic&nbsp;assortment of cultures, religions and orientations have a tough job trying to make sure no one is offended and too often it seems, they fail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But air travelers, beware: To the question, &quot;do we have a right to fly?&quot; the answer seems to be &quot;no&quot;. &nbsp;In spite of the threats from the recently dis-boarded and their demands for apologies, airlines have a tightly constructed contract of carriage printed on every single airline ticket, which says, and I paraphrase here, behave yourself in a manner that will not disrupt your fellow passengers because on the airplane, the ultimate authority is the flight crew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3lChxNS1Jo/ToKItAF0vGI/AAAAAAAABdc/Gu42PO6_Z-g/s1600/seats+from+behind.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;128&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3lChxNS1Jo/ToKItAF0vGI/AAAAAAAABdc/Gu42PO6_Z-g/s400/seats+from+behind.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; alt=&quot;seats+from+behind.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week, Leisha Hailey is tweeting that her removal from the plane, along with her companion Camila Grey was &quot;an outrage&quot; and she&#039;s calling for a boycott of &nbsp;Southwest. Homosexuals may be the newest but they&#039;re certainly not the last special interest group to ride the wave of publicity triggered by an involuntary departure from an airplane prior to push back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interest group&nbsp;I&#039;d like to see start to agitate is the one demanding that everybody traveling by air board the plane, settle down, button up and pretend that we are in granny&#039;s parlor&nbsp;for the duration of the flight.&lt;div&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9133703253863123050-5004952990301141862?l=christinenegroni.blogspot.com&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/CllGQ/~4/mN9KLkBiM4w&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;mN9KLkBiM4w&quot; /&gt;
