I think dress codes are very outdated. Even for office environments.
Unless you are in customer business meetings day in day out working on expensive deals making someone in the internal IT department wear a shirt and tie day in day out is just pointless.

Given that BA cannot organise boarding, cannot get the right food on board, and cannot tell the truth in some of their CS interactions, I doubt their ability to organise and implement a dress code.

Never in town HIDDY! 
I've worn some rather dubious specimens provided by the cloakroom attendant at The Ritz in the past, thank goodness that's over.
and so as not to stray too far off piste ..... No.
As much as others' sartorial disasters/dismal failings may cause me inner amusement/revulsion, a dress code is not the answer.

BA do have a dress code for staff and a rather ridiculous one at that. It was only a few years ago that you could not fly club world wearing jeans.
Before I stopped flying BA, I did rather delight in wearing my fluorescent lime green havianas in the premium cabins.

I'm not following - how do you seriously enforce a dress code on a long-haul flight when there are passengers wandering around in pajamas provided by the airline?
I think there should be rules against those who choose to e.g. walk around without shoes on in the lounges, however...
