It’s not a huge deal. It’s a pet peeve. Nowhere did I say I would not follow the rules. That wasn’t the point. The point was pointing out a rule that seems to have lived beyond its usefulness. And my reasoning for that position is that other airlines don’t care what their own deadheaders wear as long as it conforms to what they require their the paying passengers to wear.

I apologize for bringing up a rule that I think is useless. God forbid anyone on this forum ever doing such a thing while also trying to have other more substantive conversations. Thank you for the indulgence though. Hopefully you don’t continue to think less of me.

While the high school cheerleader issues on here are sometimes embarrassing, once the 12 angry men are blocked/silenced, some civil discussion can commence.

I'd guess that many reading our threads would love to have our problems. It's all about perspective.

I mean, suggesting that someone can't walk and chew gum at the same time or telling them to leave a conversation if they don't agree with you isn't making things personal. Those are things you usually say when in a face to face conversation, right? How many more victim cards are you going to play?

I voiced a pet peeve and someone is essentially telling me to not speak because they don’t think it’s important. Others call names like they are in grade school. I would like to believe this wouldn’t happen if we were having a face to face discussion.

In other snarky comments and questions you want to make? I just made a simple gripe, that’s all it was. I have not questioned the importance of anyone’s comments nor have resorted to ad hominem. Sorry, but it is a bit frustrating that the same isn’t reciprocated.

Man do you like to be snarky, and then when it is given bask to you, you play the victim card. Maybe you get treated the way others see you treating them. Get over yourself dude.
