He wants fliers to dress better and be nice. I laughed when I first saw that but maybe he is right, especially the part about being nice. The stereotype is Americans are ruder and not as patient as British and Canadians. I don’t know if that is true but maybe if we were more polite with each other it would help with travel problems. Somethings I see Americans do in crowds are listening to headphones loud enough for others to hear, talking on their cell phone loud enough for others to hear, bumping into others, cutting in line, swearing, not giving up seats for elderly or disabled, etc.

“Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says people need to be more civilized while flying. That means dressing better and being nicer at the airport over the holiday season, Duffy said. Getting to the airport in a “good mood” will make the experience better for fliers and staff alike, he said. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he wants to improve holiday travel, and people can help by dressing up and being courteous…And so we want to push people, as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up, bring civility back to travel,” he said".
