So what is an "ok" thickness?
I’m thinking maybe something along the lines of a Depends ...now that would have been truly crazy!
So what is an "ok" thickness?
We've flown Air France and we took the subways fairly extensively in Paris. I didn't see anybody in an unusual state of undress and I'd expect the same type of decorum on an airplane. I don't think we can chalk this up to being a "French" thing. I think the guy was just boorish or maybe even a bit deranged.
As with most customer-facing roles, simply keeping the peace is top priority. I'd wager if the lady complaining had continued to complain, especially if it was arousing the concern of other passengers, FAs would have dealt with underwear guy.I can second this as a European who has visited France many times. While we may be slightly more lax about certain things, wearing just underwear on a plane or in any other public place for that matter would raise many eyebrows and certainly wouldn’t be viewed as acceptable behaviour on a plane. Perhaps the cabin crew’s attitude was just a little “laissez faire”?
OK, yes, I'm bumping a thread but it's an update (sort of)...
Thomas Cook airlines threatened to throw a young woman off a plane (obviously while at the gate) because of what SHE was wearing.

Do those who think the man should have been asked to cover up agree the woman was correctly asked to cover up? Based on the picture in the article, I think both garments are comparable and personally don't have a huge issue with either.
This is simple... different airlines, different policies. I don't think you can hold Thomas Cook Airlines to the same policies as BA (was it BA?).My question is, why weren't both treated the same?

For the sake of security, I think we should all strip nude before going through security and remain nude until baggage claim at our destination.
Insecurity for security!I'm not sure if that would make some people feel more secure, or more insecure.....
Not necessarily. Depends on how the front of the shorts are made.The issue with the boxer shorts is that his junk could be exposed at anytime
It takes a lot to offend me, so I wouldn't have cared either way. What this woman is wearing has less potential to be revealing than the guy in boxer shorts. The issue with the boxer shorts is that his junk could be exposed at anytime -some people may be offended by that, so the risk of it happening is greater imo. Of course, that brings me back to the time back in the 80's when my future wife and I were sitting on the curb waiting for the afternoon parade and the guy sitting directly across from us was sharing a portion of his personal life with us. How he didn't realize he had a problem with his shorts is beyond me, but there they were....

ETA: I feel the airlines can set their own individual policies. I do wonder though if those who said the man should have covered up agree in the the woman's case.
I have no problem what that lady is wearing. Good looking girl, 21 years old, right weight. I wouldn’t have a problem if she was naked on the flight.
Of course for a woman her looks should factor into it, because that is after all the essential core of what it is to be a woman, right?
I do not have an issue with what she was wearing. Leaving the beach areas of the canaries I doubt it would have even registered with me at all. I think it is nutty that she was threatened with being removed from the plane based on that outfit.OK, yes, I'm bumping a thread but it's an update (sort of)...

I'm guessing that if it had been Channing Tatum in boxer shorts that that would have factored into the equation.
