A male attendant reportedly turned into a dress police on a
Spirit Airlines
flight and deplaned two women who were wearing crop tops. The passengers, Tara and Teresa, made a video of the incident that showed that co-passengers too asked the male attendant whether there was any dress code. According to a DailyMail report, Teresa and Tara were wearing pants and sweaters but removed them inside the plane as it was warm.ut they were asked to cover up.
The plane was going to New Orleans from Los Angeles.
"It's just humiliating having to be escorted and treated like a criminal just because we were wearing crop tops. It was such a dehumanizing experience. We wasted our time, other people's time, our money, our dignity," Tara said.
"It's very warm and humid and hot in the plane because they don't have the A/C or anything on, so we just take off our sweaters and the single male flight attendant comes up to us and says 'You guys need to put your sweaters back on right now,"' Tara said.
"We were both just a little shocked, and like covering ourselves with our sweaters a little bit because we were nervous, and we had no idea what was going on. We were sweating because it was so hot, so we took the sleeves off our sweaters, but we were covering our stomachs and cleavages with the sweaters because apparently that was so offensive to him."
A woman supervisor of the crew told them that she did not have any problem with what they were wearing but only the male flight attendant had. The supervisor then offered that she would get their flights rebooked but finally that was not done and they had to take a different flight.
Spirit Airlines told DailyMail.com they are in contact with Teresa and Tara and are investigating the matter. "Our Contract of Carriage, a document all Guests agree to upon making a reservation with us, includes certain clothing standards for all Guests traveling with us," the airline said.
