Startling: A woman almost denied boarding by Delta Airlines due to her lack of a bra

Every place has its own dress codes, and following them is usually required. It’s debatable, however, how much one can really enforce these norms. An event involving the US airline Delta Airlines recently brings this problem to light. This incident involved a lady who was almost kicked off a flight for not wearing a bra.

Just before her trip from Salt Lake City to San Francisco was about to take off, self-employed DJ Lisa Archbold was summoned to the front of the plane, which put her in a difficult position. According to Archbold, a female crew member chastised her for her attire, calling it “offensive” and “revealing,” as she told Yahoo News Australia. Even with her long trousers and loose T-shirt on, she was instructed to put on a jacket in order to continue traveling on the aircraft.

Archbold believes that she was treated unfairly because of her sexual orientation, which makes her feel even more embarrassed and discriminated against after the occurrence.

Archbold said, “After this lengthy speech, she told me she would allow me to stay on the flight if I put on my jacket.”

She said that the trip would only last for an hour and a half, meaning she wouldn’t have another chance to get up from her seat. “So whatever offense they were pretending was happening from my nipples, she had just created that offense again, so it wasn’t logic – it was humiliation,” Archbold said, highlighting the nonsensical nature of the crew’s alleged offense involving her clothing.

Due to Salt Lake City’s surprisingly mild weather, Archbold revealed to Yahoo News Australia that she had taken off two of her jackets at the airport before boarding the aircraft. As a result, she quickly pulled on one of her coats and sat back down.

The gay Archbold said, “I looked like a girl who didn’t care about being dressed like one.”

When they got off the plane, Archbold deliberately went up to speak with one of the male crew members about the event, accusing him of prejudice. She described the conversation, saying, “He said, exactly as it was said, ‘Our official policy on Delta Airlines is that women must cover-up.'” It’s very awful,” she said, expressing her displeasure with the airline’s position.

Although Delta Airlines has apologized to Archbold, she claims that the company did not go far enough in acknowledging any misconduct, which is in contrast to what she had anticipated.
