They wore short, shorts

I simply can't resist dipping my toe into the Southwest "cover-up".

In the 70s, Southwest Airlines used to ask their flight attendants to suit up in short-shorts and go-go boots. Perhaps the young ladies of today were simply paying homage to those bygone days.

But I am concerned because Albino Bowler has his heart set on wearing his Speedo and sombrero on our next flight to Cancun. I can't disappoint him.

Two final thoughts, one practical, one philosophical:

1) Isn't it kinda chilly on most flights to be wearing tiny tops and skimpy skirts? Just don't want anyone to catch their death of cold.

2) Who are these self-anointed morality cops who would ask a flight attendant to ask a woman to cover up on a plane flight? Takes a lot of nerve, I think. Mind your own business, Mrs. Kravitz!

Interesting article but the uniforms are nothing like the tube tops-halter tops and miniskirts the passenger wore that can be adjusted to give a Janet Jackson or Britney Spears peak-a boo show.

Also once a fellow passenger complains to a crew member they are required to say something to the person.
