Those who disagree, what do you actually wear on a plane yourselves?
Your rule mandating sleeves is as ridiculous as when they decided to prohibit deodorant and toothpaste on airplanes (a period in which I refused to fly to the US).
I typically fly long international hauls, and strive for my personal comfort. Due to TSA picking on me because of sweat pants in the past, I have switched to Yoga pants. I pair that with a tank top and jacket, since I am often flying between hemispheres from one season to another, and need warmth flexibility. The TSA and/or a hot airplane will invariably make me remove my jacket. If you are offended sitting next to me with my bare shoulders and exposed arm pits, find another place.
