The video went viral with over 5.8 million views so far. She is seen not cooperating and maskless, comparing herself to Rosa Parks and went on foolishly while being escorted off the flight. A video posted to TikTok by Coach Cordell Lander who was also on the plane, shows a woman being asked to abide by Covid-19 safety measures. And what about that pesky 'Arabic' invisible ink graffiti gaffe?

Hailey is just the latest member of the "Kicked off of Southwest Club," whose members include Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day (for wearing saggy pants) and Kevin Smith (for being too big). Who's Winning Now: Hailey (and tangentially JetBlue, right?), but we're not advocating any serious necking on a plane, no matter your orientation or gender.

The airline has built a brand and image on not "being like the other guys"-it prides itself on being a friendly, lovable (they use a heart with pilot wings as one of their logos) airline.
