A female doctor from Houston and her eight-year-old son were briefly removed from an American Airlines flight recently as the cabin crew found her clothing to be "inappropriate".
Dr. Tisha Rowe, who is African-American and a family physician in Houston, was flying with her son from Jamaica to Miami on June 30. Rowe was wearing a romper to deal with the heat, but was told by the cabin crew to "cover up" or she would not be allowed to fly.
