The passenger, a burlesque dancer who goes by the stage name Maggie McMuffin, says she was about to board a Seattle-bound JetBlue flight in Boston when a crew member told her she would have to change her clothes because her black and white shorts “may offend other families.”
McMuffin says she tried to reason with the crew member, suggesting some possible ways to cover up. She says she was eventually allowed to board the flight after buying new clothing at a kiosk.
JetBlue is standing by its decision, saying that after “the gate and onboard crew discussed the customer’s clothing,” its employees determined “other families” might have been offended by the outfit.
Would you even think twice about what someone else is wearing on an airplane?
