I dont care how someone dresses or looks in the F cabin, as long as they are clean and dont stink. Which reminds me, do your fellow passengers a favor and have the courtesy of wearing clean socks if you want to take your shoes off.
For all you barefooters and sandal people, your dogs arent as fresh as you think they are.

Oh yes, and one more to add to this. The bulkhead is NOT your personal footrest. This past Sunday while sitting back in the exit row, I look up to see the passenger in 1D with his sock feet propped up against the bulkhead at about seatback height (high enough that I could see them from that far back). I mean seriously? People, have a little since of common courtesy to your neighbors.
It goes the same for bare feet on the bulk head wall. I don't want to look at your nasty bare feet. As an old x-ray tech who has x-rayed thosands of feet, those are the one area of the body I detest the most. UGLY UGLY UGLY.
A few times when I've walked passed people with their feet on the bulkhead wall I've asked them if they walk on their walls at home. Usually that gets them to put their feet down.

Trick is, many people don't notice their own foot odor, while it may be pretty strong to someone else. So quite frankly, if I'm walking up to the lavoratory, I don't really want to look at or smell someone's feet, socks or not, at my chest level (and many folks' eye level).

Or maybe DL already does this. La Boocha gets upgraded before me almost everytime.

Maybe because the percentage of white people in that situation who don't know English is far, far lower than the percentage of Asian people in that situation who don't know English?

You can double your odds by taking the middle seat of the exit row.

Yeah, but then I just have two ticked off people sitting on either side of me, since my shoulders are wider than the seats (I'm not fat, I'm big boned!).

I was on a MSP/SFO flight earlier this year with an older gentleman FA - maybe somebody else will know of him. I was in row 1 with my feet with socks on the carpeted bulkhead. The FA told the guy on the other side of the aisle from me to take his feet off the wall - he had his shoes on - and said something like - Would you do this at home? I was prepared to be scolded, too, but my neighbor, who also had his stockinged feet on the wall and I weren't told about it, so I guess for him, socks = OK - - shoes = NOT OK!
On a side note, when I tell this story, I have typically called this FA the old mother hen FA. When he was serving the hot breakfast, he was offering people packets of jellies and sauces that he brought from home. Every time he gave somebody a diet soft drink, he warned them to be careful as diet drinks always foam up and not to pour the can too fast! Just to say that I'm not bashing this FA!! Just telling a story!

The only bad FA I can ever think of was a DCA > JFK flight.
I was in first and the FA was the one in coach, but she was standing in first talking to the other FA and kept saying she was staying up there because she didn't want to help put bags in the overhead bin. When she went to the back you can hear her telling someone she has back issues and doesn't get paid to put bags in the bin.

Interesting - I've found lately that folks travelling in First Class in a 3-cabin aircraft - not domestic First (aka Business) - are often dressed most casually of all. Dressed like I do for comfort - or given PJs/flight clothes by the airline to maximize comfort. I guess this is mostly just a domestic issue!

I'm in my 40s. I was going to SFO last Friday and I was the youngest person in F. There were a bunch of retirees in golf shirts and well-coiffed ladies my mother's age. That's more like a Florida FC experience. Most of the time I'm the only woman in F or one of the few women.

I know my 7 year old daughter was looked at twice a few weeks ago, but for the most part no one notices them. I doubt my kids look the part at all.
