And I say this as someone who happily wore slacks during all of training.

Who cares? These people have something you want. You give them what they want so that they give you what you want. Not difficult

Once again, I did it because it's what's expected. I had no problem wearing them, nor do I have a problem wearing them on a jumpseat.
That doesn't preclude the notion that requiring a level of dress that is both outdated and completely irrelevant to performing a function is archaic, unnecessary, and serves no purpose. It's done entirely because that's the way it's been done in the past, and it hearkens back to an era where the clothing people wore was far less casual in general.
It is your choice to choose to fight it or not, and it is my choice to not agree with it and do my part to change the paradigm when and where I can (e.g. allowing more casual dress on my jumpseat when I upgrade).
Beyond this thread, it doesn't consume any of my mental energy. I disagree with the premise, and that's about it. When I travel, I wear appropriate dress in case I should wind up needing to sit on a jumpseat, and don't give it a second thought.
