Well, air travelers, it appears we’ve officially been put on notice: The U.S. Department of Transportation recently launched what it’s calling a “civility campaign” to get fliers to adhere to the kind of good behavior that (apparently) made the 1950s such an ideal time to take flight.
The spot, set to the strains of Frank Sinatra’s “Come Fly With Me,” opens with a retro ode to “the golden age of travel” that quickly evolves into a terrifying compilation of in-flight brawls, audible cursing, and bare feet rested on plane seats. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy then appears, reminding viewers that “manners don’t stop at the gate.”
“Things aren’t what they used to be…. Let’s bring civility and manners back,” he continues. “Ask yourself: Are you helping a pregnant woman put her bag in the overhead bin? Are you dressing with respect? Are you keeping control of your children? Are you saying ‘thank you’ to your flight attendants and your pilots? Are you saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ in general? The golden age of travel begins with you.”
