Shorts???????
If you don't like shorts, don't wear them. If you don't like others in shorts (pasty white legs or whatever) then put your face back in your book or magazine or ipad or wherever.
Seriously...shorts? Are you 116 years old? It's ludicrous to be concerned about, or even notice, other people's shorts...
What is your stance on plus fours? Capris? Are you still troubled by these kids and their rock n roll?
I can only imagine you're pulling everyone's leg here...mostly because I refuse to believe that anyone cares that much about shorts.
My goodness; you have yourself to thank for my newfound interest in wearing shorts on airplanes. And I'm going with Dolphin shorts, too...2 sizes too small.

I still thought you showing off your entitlements, deserved or not, were a bit over the top... and yeah, you were abusive.
I really enjoy traveling and flying, for pleasure and business, and I do quite a bit of it it seems. The conveniences offered to frequent travelers make a hectic life a little bit easier. I do take satisfaction in being treated well by the airlines and hotels that I frequent, and thankfully that comes through in situations where everything doesn't go according to plan...
I don't necessarily think the PM you trumped 3x over, and eventually just trying to push her buttons though exhibits the kind of camaraderie that road warriors should have and I hope I don't have to fly with you anytime soon.

I'm 105, which means that this is quite obviously a generational battle with one my elders. You?
Old enough to have smoked on the airplane. Old enough to have seen Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke at the drive-in upon its release. Old enough to have flown Wings West out of Santa Monica airport. Old enough to remember why the mascot of Tustin High School is the Tiller. Old enough to remember a few George Burns and Gracie Allen jokes...
Old enough. Why do you ask?

I'll leave that role to someone else.... and growing up in Boca, the candidate list is limitless.
Until DL has an F product that we're willing pay for (and P/A don't cout), and not hope for, the dress-code shall remain modified.
C'mon... there's some of us out here who remember the difference between suits for a formal afternoon vs. evening wedding, and when it's proper to wear a white vs. black bow tie. Yet DL F product... I'm still going with that resort-casual is perfectly acceptable, and that includes shorts.
In the meantime, I haven't felt overt aggresive anger over uing the SP/F/etc line. And I figure if it happens, it speaks much of the projector.

And some of us would say that it's more about keeping your nose in your own business.

I don't believe in being an instigator, but if someone wants to throw a tantrum, that's not my problem.
Happily, being a Big Ugly, most people leave me alone.O/H

I had something similar happen to me at some time ago at FLL where the line for security was backed waaaaaaaay up. The folks in the Line for the Great Unwashed had helpfully left space for people leaving the check-in counter, but when I turned and then stopped to tuck my ticket in my pocket, instead of proceeding to the rear of the line, the angry prole at the back of the break in the line (thinking I was line-jumping him) made a big show of saying, in his best Angry Dad Voice "The END of the line is BACK THERE!". I looked over at him and said, calmly and with a smile, "Not for me" and strolled off to the security checkpoint.
