On Monday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy spoke live from Newark International Airport on enhancing the air travel experience. But his concern wasn’t flight delays, increasing costs, or a rise in air accidents; it was the passenger dress code.
As a part of his new “civility” campaign, Duffy requested that travelers ditch the pajama and slipper outfits at airports. His logic? Bring back fancy dressing so people stop behaving rowdy and act chivalrous instead. “I call this just dressing with some respect,” he said. “I would encourage people to dress a little better, which encourages us to behave a little better.”
