I still have the in flight Polaroid the stewardesses took. We had to dress up. I remember my dad and I in suit and tie and mom and my sister in dresses and gloves.
I'd go back to that world in a fast minute.
Very cool.

While we do not wear suits and dresses, my wife and I dress nice to fly, like if we were going someplace with a resort casual dress code for dinner. I feel like I would look like a douche bag if I wore a suit on a flight now.
I saw local big deal attorney flying back on my flight from Atlanta to Florida, he owns a private Jet, another passenger asked him why he was not using it, he said sometimes it makes more sense to just fly commercial. We was in some slacks and polo shirt, like he was going to play golf.
The flight was delayed, I am guess it was going to cut too close for him, he went and changed in a suit. I was heading to a courtroom too, our flight was so late I missed our hearing and I did not have a suit with me to change into.
I agree with you 100% society has declined, we are self centered pigs now with no consideration for those around us.
