I'm curious why you make a special call-out for Hawaiian shirts? I assume you wear them, so you have to protect yourself from this elitism.
Absolutely (because I wear Hawaiian shirts)! And I said so in a prior post. Look, I'm not only a lowly 2P, but the only times I get dressed up are for funerals & weddings... and I feel about as uncomfortable when I do as a vegetarian in a slaughterhouse. Those rare times I fly F or C though, I'm not going to wear a T-shirt that has holes in it or torn-up shoes.

But let's say we forget about attire completely and focus only on the other things I brought up... civility, avoiding obnoxious behavior, that sort of thing. Should there be different rules or standards of conduct for a passenger in Y vs F or C? Or is it just one big cattlecar in the sky?
