A female Jetstar Airways passenger says she’s “disgusted” with the airline after a flight attendant allegedly made comments about her travel outfit being “inappropriate.”
In an open letter to the Australian airline posted on Facebook, Shoshana Strykert claimed the incident took place on a Feb. 8 flight to Brisbane, en route to visit her mother in the hospital.
Soon after boarding the plane, Strykert says a flight attendant singled her out for wearing a black crop top on the flight.

“The flight attendant told me that what I was wearing was inappropriate,” Strykert wrote in a Feb. 11 post. “She then told me, ‘Do you see any men walking around with their shirts off?’”
Strykert went on to claim that the Jetstar staffer continued to chide her, asking if she had a T-shirt to put on instead, and offered her a blanket.
