Female passenger almost removed from Delta Air Lines flight for not wearing bra

Ms. Archbold explained that it all began when she removed her coat at the Salt Lake airport before boarding the aircraft

A lady has reported that failing to wear a bra nearly got her thrown off a Delta aircraft. In January, Lisa Archbold was traveling from Salt Lake City to San Francisco when she received a threat from Delta Airlines regarding her attire.

She described her unpleasant encounter with an airline employee in an interview with Yahoo News Australia, which occurred before to the departure of her trip on January 22. She claimed that at the time of the event, she was returning home to the Bay Area from Utah’s Sundance Film Festival.

Self-employed DJ Ms. Archbold said she was “loudly” called to the front of the aircraft once “every single person” had taken their seat. She was escorted off the aircraft by a female crew member upon arriving, who chastised her for her attire. Her clothes, which included long leggings and a “baggy” T-shirt, were described as “offensive” and “revealing” to her.

“After this long speech, she tells me she would allow me to stay on the flight if I put on my jacket,” Ms Archbold said. “Keep in mind this flight was an hour and a half long so I was not going to be out of my seat again. So whatever offence she was pretending was happening from my nipples, she had just created that offence again, so it wasn’t logical – it was humiliation,” she said.

As a self-identified gay woman, Ms. Archbold explained that it all began when she removed her coat at the Salt Lake airport before boarding the aircraft. She thinks that she might not have received fair treatment since she is LGBT.

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

When it was time to get off the plane, according to Ms. Archbold, she made sure to express her feelings to one of the male crew members. She declared that it felt like “discrimination”.

“He replied verbatim, ‘Our official policy on Delta Airlines is that women must cover-up.’ It’s pretty gross,” she added.

Ms. Archbold claims that although the airline has now apologized, they “stopped short of admitting any wrongdoing”.

“I don’t need miles or an apology, I need Delta to be interested in the safety of their passengers. The dress code is extremely subjective. Subjective policies are easy vessels of abuse. They are easy to shift. Let’s make everyone more safe,” Ms Archbold said.
