Hey Stimpy, I agree with you

I also agree with your sentiments, Punki.

But I *hate* wearing suits on airplanes. In my work I dress casual all the time and so this is how I dress on an airplane.

But there is a difference between sloppy and casual. I always try to be decently dressed and never sloppy.

I have not noticed a big difference between when I wear a suit or not. If I have a suit on I'll remove the tie in any event (yecchh!).

I think I carry myself with some authority anyway and it's not worth the discomfort of wearing a suit for little if any difference in treatment.
