    Too pretty to fly?

    By: Janie Porter

    Tampa, Florida – Prejudice against pretty?

    That's the claim from a pair of 18-year-old best friends from Oldsmar who were escorted off a Southwest Airlines plane.

    USF student Nisreen Swedberg and friend Sarah Williams claim the flight crew was rude to them from the moment they stepped onto the plane at Tampa International Airport on February 14.

    Swedberg said she asked a flight attendant for a bottle of water and was told she could wait until the rest of the flight was served.

    “And I patiently waited and then when they came around with water, they skipped me,” Swedberg said.

    At one point, Williams had to use the plane's bathroom. She saw another passenger in it, and when he hadn't come out 15 minutes later, she knocked on the door.

    When he came out, Williams says the man came over to her seat and yelled a profanity at her. Williams admits she yelled a profanity back at him but was puzzled when she says the flight crew only questioned her.

    “I think they were just discriminating against because we were young decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us,” she said. “[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 defends the incident, saying the women caused a disruption on the flight.

    When the plane landed in Los Angeles, the women were escorted off by four uniformed police officers and later questioned by the FBI.

    Nearly two hours later, the women were released. No charges were filed.

    Still, Williams and Swedberg say they were banned from all future Southwest Airlines flights, including their scheduled flight home to Tampa.

    Swedberg spent $419.50 on a one-way return ticket and arrived at TIA on Monday. Williams is still in Los Angeles trying to find a cheaper flight home. She hopes to be back to Tampa by Saturday.

    I don't buy it. There's obviously more involved. Hot chicks are everywhere. Unsurprisingly, a lot of those hot chicks are b****es. I'm sure that was the case here.

    Yeah, it sounds to me like they may have a "I'm hot, you're not. I deserve special treatment because I'm pretty" kind of attitude.

    Oh well, I wonder if they'll do Playboy like the last chick did.

    They were honest about how they appeared -- young and decent looking.

    this would be unfair if they were really hot, the one on the right is particularly busted

    I can't believe the FBI agents were actually able to endure these 2 dimwits for a whole two hours of questioning :eek:

    This is true, I get jealous of younger people all the time so I yell at them. Especially ones that look like sluts.

    So where are the pics of those younger good looking ones?

    Why post the pics of older flight attendants instead?

    They were probably trying to figure out a way to justify a cavity search. Customs agents have been doing that to pretty girls for years.

    I dunno about you guys, but I think they're pretty. I definitely could picture them being extremely sexy under the right circumstances(what they're wearing, bronzed florida tan, etc etc)

    Somebody needs to inform these chicks that they aren't all that. They may be young, but they aren't particularly pretty gals.

    Southwest Airlines is not right, just cus these 2 young chicks
    full of themselves, and delusively believed they are too pretty
    for everyone is not a good reason to ban them from all future
    Southwest Airlines flights. :p

    You guys are crazy. Those chicks are hot! They are most certainly b****es, but hot b****es nonetheless.
