Melbourne, Jan 23 : A US airline allegedly denied a flight to a female flight attendant for not dressing provocatively enough.

Karin Keegan, 37, says a male JetBlue employee told her to change into a lower-cut shirt and tighter pants before boarding the plane.

But even after wearing the clothes, the hostess was denied the flight saying she was too late to get on the plane.

And now Keegan has filed a lawsuit against the airline in Pittsburgh federal court, reports News. com. au.
