If passengers want their travel cheap and they dress like slobs, do not expect me to press an arm crease on my shirt.

Passengers want filet mignon but want to pay ground beef pricing. Ground beef prices get you a poorly paid pilot who will fly you safe to your destination and nothing more. If they want pilots to act like the glory days of old they are going to have to pay for more than ground beef.
