Southwest Calls Too Pretty Coeds Claim Simply Not True

Southwest Airlines, responding to claims by two female passengers that they were discriminated against because of their good looks and banned from future flights, released a statement via YouTube disputing their story, adding that it doesn't have the ability to selectively ban passengers, even if we wanted to.

We would be out of business if we banned pretty people from Southwest Airlines, spokeswoman Brandy King said. The two passengers that are referenced in the media were using vulgar language, aggressive behavior, threatening gestures at 30,000 feet.

University of South Florida student Nisreen Swedberg and her friend Sarah Williams claimed the flight crew was rude to them throughout their flight from Tampa Bay to Los Angeles on Feb. 14, TampaBays10.com reported.

I think they were just discriminating against [us] because we were young decent-looking girls," Williams told TampaBays10.com. "I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us. [The flight attendants] were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger.

They were released about two hours after the plane landed, and no charges were filed.

2) What a couple of bimbos.

A) Get your eyes checked.
B) I was thinking more along the lines of "spoiled rotten brats".

My eyes are just fine and I also have to say that they aren't that cute.

Not that cute. I'd hate to see what the brunette looks like in the morning before she puts on makeup. The blond isn't bad, but she's nothing you can't see a hundred times on any college campus. Plus, she's way more stuck on herself than a lot of prettier girls.

Perzactly.

And I have to agree with Mike...  Definitely not that pretty, overly made up, and got that spoiled brat attitude that just *really* grates on my nerves.

I agree that they are good looking, but to say they are "Too Pretty" is a stretch.  I think the self-centered, spoiled rotten brat is likely the best description.

Sorry, but there's something about those two that instinctively makes me say "wouldn't touch with a 40 foot pole".

Me likey.  Loose college girls got me through my first couple years of adulthood.

Oh, and another vote for spoiled rotten brats.  If that were my daughter behaving like that I'd cut her allowance for sure

Well, by having them detained for two hours, Southwest probably made these 'Coeds' miss the video auditions for "Girls Gone Wild: Ho Down '08!" which was their chance to get off the pole at Baby Dolls which might have paid for their nuclear engineering post graduate work. 

There's some potential liability there.

Dasmi, just wondering...

Do the glasses help her at all, or is she still legally blind with 'em? Because that would explain a lot about why she's hooked up with you...

Yeah, I've wondered that myself.  She's pretty much out of my league, but I think she loves me anyway.  I don't have any money she could be after.  I think it's my fascinating intellect.

So they were kicked off for being "too pretty"?  God I would love to see that court case.  I can't possibly imagine someone ever being removed or denied for being pretty.  That just isn't how human nature works.  If anything, you could be kicked off for being too ugly, and that might make sense.  And that's not even taking into account that they do look just like average colelge girls, not bad, nothing special.  Of course what they refer to themselves as "pretty" probably comes out to everyone else as "rude and entitled", it's just they don't know the difference.

Southwest is the airline that kicked a girl off for wearing a very short skirt, last year.  I guess I won't try to fly with them either.  I'm just too pretty.

Just as long as you don't start wearing skirts.
