LETTER: Leave the PJs at home
Leave the PJs at home
Although it is a shame that he had to raise the issue, U. S. Transportation Secretary Secretary Sean Duffy is absolutely right in his suggestion that airline passengers not board dressed in pajamas.
Society has been degraded by many realities of this era, including the acceptance of an “it’s all about you; come as you are; your comfort is paramount” mentality. It is not unusual today to see individuals in public places wearing pants with gaping holes in them and pajama bottoms. The necktie has become an endangered species, even for elected officials who occupy positions of great influence. Few fine restaurants impose dress codes, given today’s customer’s penchant for dressing down.
An argument can be made that those who would board a commercial airline flight in pajamas do not respect themselves. They should consider having respect for their fellow passengers and displaying a modicum of dignity and decorum.
