Barefoot on the plane
I have been noticing more and more people walking around barefoot on the plane. Yesterday, between ORD and DFW, there were at least 4 people...and I am not talking about children. These are grown men and women. Besides the obvious health issue, are there any policies AA has regarding in flight attire? What is next, shirtless passengers? I asked the FA and she shrugged her shoulders.

Of course, you could probably fly WN and see something like that.
No Shirt
No Shoes
No Problem

What do you expect when our fine government (TSA) requires us to prance around in our socks as part of the qualification ritual for being granted the honor of entering the boarding area?
I wouldn't blame Southwest--I'd blame TSA.

I am ALWAYS in my socks on an airplane. First thing I do after I sit down. First thing I do after touchdown. I often open a lav door, survey the floor, close the door, and wait for the other one.
I have never seen barefeet though. I'll start looking. What runs is this common on?

Hello people. What's on the lav floor is also on the carpet throughout the plane.
