Spirit Airlines will remove passengers wearing certain or 'not enough' clothing (www.newschannel5.com)

Spirit Airlines has a new dress code for passengers banning certain tattoos, clothing — or not enough clothing.

The airline updated its “contract of carriage” stating passengers "may not be permitted to board" or "may be required to leave an aircraft" if they are barefoot, “inadequately clothed," or if clothing or tattoos are obscene or offensive.

The rules specify “inadequately clothed” as see-through clothing, not enough coverage, exposed breasts, buttocks or other private parts.

It also stated people who are considered too smelly can be removed from a flight.

The tattoo thing could get a little hairy but the rest of it sounds solid. Flying on a commercial airline is a privilege not a right. If you can’t be assed to do the bare minimum to make yourself tolerable for others for a few hours then you have other options to travel privately (and at a much greater cost.)

Maybe they are going for stuff like swastika tattoos?

Or rainbows. There are all kinds of flight attendants.

Hopefully that and stuff like exposed tattoos of genitalia or sex scenes.

I mean, these carriers act like a Greyhound bus, at least we should be allowed to dress like one. All of those guys showing their breasts and buttocks with see through briefs should be allowed to dress they way they want.
