McMuffin says her black-and-white short-shorts “covered everything” and her body was “90 percent” covered, given that she was also wearing thigh-high socks and a sweater. JetBlue spokesman Doug McGraw said that airline employees discussed McMuffin’s clothing and determined it might offend families on the flight. McMuffin complied but called it embarrassing and vowed to never fly JetBlue again.
