00:00Sean Duffy says no more pajamas on planes.

00:03That's right, he told travelers to ditch the slippers and dress with respect.

00:07He also asks travelers to help pregnant passengers with overhead bins,

00:11say please and thank you to flight attendants,

00:13and basically stop acting like feral raccoons at 30,000 feet.

00:17The campaign is called the Golden Age of Travel Starts With You,

00:21and it's meant to tackle an alleged 400% surge in unruly passenger incidents since 2019.

00:26Think brawls at baggage claim, people dangling bare feet over the seats, and viral meltdowns.

00:32But here's where it gets divisive.

00:34On TikTok and YouTube, comments range from,

00:36Sir, pajamas are the least of our problems.

00:38Have you seen the seat sizes?

00:39To, I'll wear what I want. Thanks.

00:41And how did the media cover this?

00:43Well, depending on where you get your news,

00:45the campaign either looks like a classy throwback or a tone-deaf distraction.

00:49Left-leaning outlets like CBS News and YourTango said,

00:52sure, civility is nice, but maybe fix the seats, the fees, and the policies first.

00:55Their reporting leaned into customer frustration,

00:58basically saying pajamas aren't the real problem, airlines are.

01:01Right-leaning outlets like Fox News highlighted Duffy's nostalgia for the days when people dressed

01:05up to fly, framing it as a common-sense call to restore respect.

01:09BizPack Review went further, painting it as a chance to bring back the glamour of air travel.

01:14So, in short, the DOT wants us to be nicer, dress sharper, and help each other out.

01:18The internet says, cute idea, but maybe fix the airlines first.

01:21As holiday travel ramps up, the DOT's civility push lands right in the middle of crowded airports

01:26and packed flights.
