I gotta go with the airline this time. They wouldn't let a woman body builder

from Turkey board the plane because they said she didn't have enough clothes on. Personally I think she could have just bought a t-shirt from one of the stores. That shirt is see through - you can see it in her video


A Turkish bodybuilder and fitness model who moved to the US to flex her muscles away from her conservative country was reportedly banned from boarding her American Airlines flight in Texas because her attire was deemed offensive.

Deniz Saypinar, 26, a social media personality who was the first woman in Turkey to be given status by the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness, recently move to Los Angeles to pursue her career and “experience freedom,” the Daily Mail reported.

But the ripped influencer got stuck at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Thursday when American Airlines flight attendants took issue with her fashion sense and banned her from boarding, according to the report.

and the plane lurches... I would be very sorry. I usually side with the passenger but it's hard to do so in this case.

She'll ask those around her to close their vents

And will have to go the bathroom as least 3 times on a short flight.

Nor would I want to be the one who sat in whatever seat she occupied after she'd been sitting in it with her nether regions pretty much uncovered. Might as well be naked.

Underwear thongs look uncomfortable enough. A thong made out of denim sounds awful.

...United for 15. You and he would probably have a lot to talk about. I just retired from 45 years as a pediatric nurse practitioner, and have a fair few stories of my own.

I'd love to hear a few of yours. (Or maybe not???)

Blue water soaked the carpets and the galley mats...

Cleaning that mess up was not pleasant. Had to pull all the mats and rugs....blue water everywhere.

Plane out of service for days.


Then there was the time the plane wasn't decatered... taxi crew brought it over to the hangar. Parked it on the ramp and closed it up.

Sat outside in the Texas heat for the weekend....
