I dont at all mean to be rude, but why is the general feeling on this thread one of gloating about how sloppy you are dressed when you fly, as if it is funny or a competition?
I don't think dressing "sloppy" is all that great either. When I fly, I'm going to dress comfortably - that's my bottom line. I'm not out to impress anyone when I'm flying. When some dude gets on the plane in a suit & tie, I just get the impression that he thinks he's a pretty damn self-important businessman.... and he wants everyone else to think so too.
