Flight attendents used to be sexy but now they’re kind of not so I just assumed airlines stop caring. Apparently not since this lady is suing for being told to slut it up a bit.

A female flight attendant is suing US airlines JetBlue and Delta after being denied access to a flight because her outfit wasn’t provocative enough.

Karin Keegan, a 37-year-old flight attendant with Delta, said a male JetBlue worker wouldn’t let her on a flight in October 2007 because she wasn’t dressed provocatively enough, then allowed other flight attendants with less seniority to board the plane.

JetBlue has an agreement with Delta to ferry its flight attendants to job assignments on a standby basis.

“Keegan changed into more provocative clothes, but (the employee) told her she was too late to board the plane and should have dressed like that before,” said the lawsuit, which was filed Friday in Pittsburgh federal court, Associated Press reports.

“He wanted her to change to a lower-cut shirt and tighter pants, and wear more makeup before letting her on the plane,” Keegan’s attorney, Samuel Cordes, said Monday. Delta and JetBlue officials refused to intercede when she complained, the lawsuit said.

Pictured above is what Southwest Airlines’ stewardesses looked like in the 1970s. Here’s what they usually look like now. Male or female. So you could see how I’m not entirely distraught over these airlines trying to get their female employees to look a little better. In fact, if anything, they should be sued for not being aggressive enough in sexing up their Plane Hoes. Not only do we not get food any more but I have to look at gay guys and homely middle-aged women while flying. There hasn’t been a flight this unfair since the plane crash on Lost. A plane crash with only one hot chick for whom you have to compete with Matthew Fox and the dude who plays Sawyer would leave you with a pretty much endless supply of nights in which you pleasure yourself with a coconut with lipstick drawn on.
