If the lady did have shorts on there isn't a problem and if the attendant couldn't see the shorts then he couldn't see anything else either so again, what's the problem? There shouldn't be a dress code on a plane. Me thinks these aviationists are a bit up themselves, it's a flying bus when all said and done.

As for saggy pants guy at the end of the story. I don't like them at all but I'm not offended by them. I wouldn't stop anyone wearing them either. No reason to eject someone from a flight. You might be able to see his underpants but you can't see the crack of his ar*e so again, so what?

JetBlue? I'll not be flying with them ever (not that it's likely I might have)...
The handheld radio bit... Yeah, if that happened, that was of course totally uncalled for. And if the lady did have shorts on, then what was her problem showing it? It goes from a simple question of dignity to outright defiance. Jet Blue is a privately owned airline, and as such, if you use it, you accept their rules. So long as those rules don't violate your privacy. Simply making sure a person is clothed decently doesn't violate anyone's privacy. On the subject of the saggy pants thing... Jet Blue is a privately owned company. If you don't like their dress code, fly with someone else!
