First Southwest threatened to escort Kyla Ebert off her flight from San Diego to Tucson if she didn't cover up.

Swedberg and WilliamsSwedberg and WilliamsThis week, Nisreen Swedberg and Sarah Williams felt the sting of disapproval when 4 police officers escorted them off their flight in LA. Not only was their return ticket to Tampa revoked, but they've been banned from the airline for life.

Not even Kyla was banned for life!

The girls claim they're being discriminated against because they're young and beautiful, which they are. They're sure their current situation has nothing to do with the obscenities they were swapping with another passenger after a bathroom incident.

Too pretty to fly? Or too obnoxious?

This disturbing pattern could point to a Big Brother issue at Southwest, but we're reserving judgment until more news is released.

A Tampa newspaper reports Swedberg spent $419.50 to get home to Tampa on Monday, but Williams is still trying to find a cheap flight home.

If the girls are smart, they'll take this opportunity to enjoy the meteoric rise to fame that Kyla did when she posed for Playboy after her run in with Southwest.

What do you think? Does Southwest Airlines have Big Brother issues or did these girls get their just desserts?

Good point - Southwest did not ban the girls for life as originally reported. We have updated the story twice: http://www.gogirlfriend.com/travel-news/too-pretty-fly-update-7330 and here as well: http://www.gogirlfriend.com/travel-news/nisreen-swedberg-and-sarah-willi... Banned for life or just kicked off one flight, the girls clearly need a lesson in manners.

And yes, we adore the Bay of Fundy :-) While I'll agree it's no longer parka weather in your neck of the woods, it's not quite string bikini weather either.

I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."
