Personally, I wish we would go back to the old days..I would happily pay more for not having over crowded planes, more room, FAs that were glad to see us because they didn't have to put up with angry abusive people (who may poop on the cart or whatever). Just because the use of profanity is everywhere, doesn't mean it has to be employed..this is another example of lowered standards, also look at the way people dress for travel! I remember when travel was fun, exciting and even a bit glamorous. I love travelling and I believe we all can make it a bit more pleasurable.
Many dress down for travel because they want to be as comfortable as possible when crammed in 8 abreast; I personally wear good sweats in the winter and light-weight pants in the summer. I have a friend who still gets all gussied up to get on a plane and my dress style offends her. I'm comfortable and, by her own admission, she is not. My personal comfort comes before whatever you think I look like when I'm on a plane.
