Airlines need passenger dress code

THE EDITOR:  Perhaps this is not the best time to voice this sentiment, but I feel that our airlines should enforce a “dress code”.

I have been very uncomfortable sitting next to sweaty sleeveless travellers especially on the Tobago run, among other foreign ports. I am sure many will agree with me. People board flights in slippers, coveralls and general tainted work clothes. Some of these people fall asleep before the flight is airborne. Generally, the sleeping one gravitates close to you. Must I say more. Perhaps because we might have grown accustomed to similar situations in our taxis and buses we put up with such indignities.
