Should BA have a dress code?
Saudia have just announced a dress code. Shouldn't BA raise standards by doing the same?
Quote: Details of the dress code featured on Saudia Airlines website show that the airline requires guests to dress in a way that does not 'cause offense or discomfort to other passengers'. eg no shorts for men, no tight clothes for women....

'causing offense' is such a wide phrase though.
Travelling in a taffeta ball gown when travelling in F could cause offense to some.
Wear american football shoulder pads in Y and that could cause discomfort to the people next to you.

What now passes for 'society' in the upper percentiles has long since abandoned the concept of 'dressing appropriately'. Accordingly, unless cultural mores apply (e.g. Saudia), there is no point in BA even contemplating another way to annoy/inconvenience their passengers.
Or ... NO

Yes = ) No sports jerseys, no flip flops and sandals(Saves people with dirty feet on board), no shorts for men and no bare shoulders for woman or excessively short skirts!
Oh, and no smelling bad please, I have had it with smelly people who wear expensive clothes but cannot practice basic hygene! go to the airport bathroom beforehand if you didnt want to/couldnt shower!
Will make for a better environment for all on board

A dress code? Of course, all for the dress code. I think everyone should be made to wear a dress.
"Not wearing a dress? Oh dear, you're denied boarding! Or you could change into [offer a wide range of dresses]"
