Woman Says Airline Wanted To Kick Her Off Flight For Her “Inappropriate Top”
Is this offensive?
Emily O’Connor from England was on a Thomas Cook flight, She says the staff forced her to cover up what they thought to be an “inappropriate” top.
She went to Twitter to show the top. She claims the staff harassed her and verbally abused her after she boarded the plane.
The airline issued this statement.
“We are sorry that we upset Ms O’Connor. It’s clear we could have handled the situation better. In common with most airlines, we have an appropriate attire policy. This applies equally to men and women of all ages without discrimination. Our crews have the difficult task of implementing that policy and don’t always get it right.”
What do you think?
Flying from Bham to Tenerife, Thomas Cook told me that they were going to remove me from the flight if I didn’t “cover up” as I was “causing offence” and was “inappropriate”. They had 4 flight staff around me to get my luggage to take me off the plane. pic.twitter.com/r28nvSYaoY
