A woman claims she was almost kicked off a Delta flight because she wasn’t wearing a bra. In January, Lisa Archbold was flying from Salt Lake City to San Francisco when Delta staff threatened to remove her from the plane because of her attire.talking Yahoo News AustraliaShe detailed a disturbing interaction with an airline crewmember before the flight took off from her destination on January 22. She said she was leaving the Sundance Film Festival in Utah and returning home to the Bay Area when the incident occurred.

Towards exitMs Archibald, who works as a self-employed DJ, claimed she was “loudly” summoned to the front of the plane after “everyone” was seated on the plane. Once there, a female cabin crew member removed her from the plane and scolded her for her attire. She was told her attire, which consisted of a “baggy” T-shirt and trousers, was “offensive” and “revealing”.

“After this long speech she told me that if I put on my jacket she would allow me to stay on the plane,” Ms Archibald said. “Remember, this flight is an hour and a half long, so I’m not leaving my seat again. So whatever offense she pretended was from my nipples, she just created the offense again, so it wasn’t” It doesn’t make sense – it’s humiliating,” she continued.

Ms Archibald told the outlet it all started when she took off her coat before boarding a flight at Salt Lake Airport. “I look like a girl who doesn’t care that she dresses like a girl,” said Ms. Archibald, who identifies as queer. She believes her homosexuality may be the reason why she is being treated unfairly.

Ms Archibald said she made a point of letting a male cabin crew member know how she felt about the situation when she arrived and was about to disembark. She said she felt it was “discriminatory.” “He responded verbatim, ‘Our official policy with Delta is that women must cover up.’” That’s disgusting,” she added.

The airline has since apologized to Ms Archibald but she said they had “not admitted any wrongdoing”. “I don’t want miles or an apology, I want Delta to care about the safety of its passengers,” Ms. Archibald said. “Dress codes are extremely subjective. Subjective policies are easy to abuse. They are easy to change. Let’s make it safer for everyone,” she added.
