No! Just the hierarchy & status symbols. Symbols are just symbols. Let's promote function over form. Trying to shoe horn the golden age into today's world would be a functional disaster... I don't want your nasty tie falling on my face during a flight... lol

Ties don't get cleaned well enough just like airplanes... Dry cleaning doesn't get rid of bacteria... No wonder the blood flow is lacking...😉😜 KeyWord here: "SYMBOL" "Despite being a symbol of smartness and professionalism, neckties may not be so good for your health.They can transmit bacteria from medic to patient more so than a shirt sleeve,and too-tight tie shave also been found to increase pressure in the eye, possibly leading to an increased risk of glaucoma. Researchers in a small 2018 study found tight ties could also reduce blood flow to the brain by 7.5 per cent." "Should you stop wearing neckties?—wearing a tight necktie reduces cerebral blood flow" https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00234-018-2048-7 This explains it! 😆🤣 If you start to feel dizzy, take your tie off!

Yeah... But what's the rotation? 😆... Still scuzzy... From AI: "Dry cleaning can help reduce bacteria on clothing, but its effectiveness varies depending on the type of fabric and the specific solvents used. While the high temperatures in dry cleaning can kill some germs, it may not eliminate all bacteria as effectively as traditional laundering with hot water and detergent."

Ties are nasty. Who cleans a tie! https://advancestudy.org/do-doctors-wear-ties/ Ties are germ vector: "...The primary concern driving the decline in tie-wearing among doctors is hygiene. Numerous studies have demonstrated that ties can harbor significant amounts of bacteria, including potentially harmful pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus (Staph) and Clostridium difficile (C. diff). ..."

The tone-deaf US Department of Transportation:

🙄 A Bills fan, that's who!😉 When did theater get uppity... The audience for a Shakespearean play at the Globe was very diverse, with people from all social classes and a wide variety of professions. They came to the theater to have a good time, so they often drank to excess, shouted at the actors, and even threw rotten fruit if they didn't like the play. Audience Behavior While many now view the theater as a place of high culture and refinement, the theater was in many ways a low-brow venue in Shakespeare's time. Theater-goers indulged in excessive drinking, which led to sloppy and offensive behavior among the crowd. They would shout at the performers, laugh and cry whenever they wanted to, and even throw rotten produce at the actors onstage. In many cases, these theater-goers were the same people who went to see public executions or bear-baiting spectacles. While the actors performed very serious plays like Hamlet on stage, some of the audience may have been too intoxicated or rowdy to grasp the seriousness of the endeavor.

Like this? OR: 😆 Hey Les!😆

Or they give them to us when the Rams juice runs low... Hoecht... And KC late to meetings...

Thou protest one score too late.

Good point! Definitely getting bumped! At the very least, standing room only in the aft head!🤣

Respect is earned, it doesn't start with the clothes people where. I don't think it's about ruining clothing as much as the asinine statements the government puts out. Return to the "golden age" of flying? You gotta be kidding me? Just wear what you want, within reason of course... Stay comfortable in a world that treats people with disrespect. Probably is better to cover yourself up, no exposed skin... Of course don't wear offensive logos, etc... BUT does this really need to be said? Just a distraction statement. People are getting unruly because the fish rots from the head down not by the clothes they or others wear.

Don't even start with the heads! Or whatever they're called in the air... Probably need to be power washed each flight. Worse than a MegaBus across country... They barely fit an 8 year old... 😔

Have you ever been crammed into coach with the unwashed masses. Put your PJs on Cappy... 😆... https://nypost.com/2025/04/17/lifestyle/passengers-freak-out-over-how-gross-plane-seats-are-proven-in-swab-test-ill-never-fly-again/ "Sure, flying by the seat of your pants can be fun — but just how filthy is that seat? Airplanes are notoriously unsanitary. From the carpets to the overhead bins and the windows to the walls, germs abound. Now, a scientific swab test has unveiled the eye-popping amount of grime there is where frequent flyers plant their behinds. ..." I ain't wearing my Sunday best...

Of course it can... We did have it here at one time... Even inter-urban rail service was ripped up.

Saw this bumper sticker today:

Yeah... But it's ridiculous to think you're gonna dress up for the cattle car experience. Who's gonna wreck their good clothes on a filthy plane? Understandable... But offer a few ancillary modes of transportation.

Yeah... And train travel has been wiped off the geography of N.America... Practically wiped off. Going west this past month... Had open seat between wife & myself. Coming back full, crammed like sardines... They want respect, at least give a seat the form factor of a car ride, can't? Bring back trains or other communal travel. Roads aren't cutting it either. Anyway, it's all about the social hierarchy. Bus travel in the air. Just deal with the hoi polloi, unwashed masses, can't convert them.

...My arse... People smoked on planes back in day... lol

Sorry Mods... I meant this for OTW... NOT sure if I can move it... I THINK... They want to go beyond the simple crass-wear... Like no shorts & pajamas now. Anyway... They cram you in like it's the middle passage. "Greyhound in the Sky"... That's what buses were for in old days, what planes are today... Filthy too, but they want you to wear your best. Just fly me on a drone in an hermetically sealed tube an be done with it! 😆 Golden Age...

Hitler was on Stalin's right. We aligned with Stalin in WWII /EndThread
