SW Airlines Hates Pretty People?

UPDATE: Just saw an interview with these two girls on FOX 25 News. The girls are saying that they never said that they were thrown off because they are "pretty...I said we were throw off because we are decent looking." Our mistake. Plus, they know that is the reason because one of the flight attendants, while talking to another attendant, said "the blond girl over there." I am pretty sure we can all understand and see how that translates into them being jealous of their "decent" looks. Per our news anchor, "these girls need a good talking to from their parents."

Original Post: Ah...what is the world coming to when even the beautiful are discriminated against? This article from FOX News (originally reported by Tampa Bays 10) is pretty funny. Notice that none of the workers on SW Airlines said anything about the girls looks, only the girls themselves made those comments.

No doubt these girls were on their best behavior and the flight attendants just wanted to risk their jobs because they were jealous. Read and decide for yourself. I italicized my favorite my part.

Two attractive 18-year-olds claim they were escorted off a Southwest Airlines flight for being too pretty, TampaBays10.com reported.

University of South Florida student Nisreen Swedberg and friend Sarah Williams said the flight crew was rude to them from the start of their flight from Tampa Bay to Los Angeles on Feb. 14, TampaBays10.com wrote:

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

Southwest defended its actions, saying it was the women who caused a disruption on the flight. They were released about two hours after the plane landed, and no charges were filed.
