January 1, DOT Shames Unruly Flyers, Pushes Civility
Wyatt’s Take
- The Department of Transportation is calling out bad behavior on planes.
- Air travel rudeness has skyrocketed since before COVID lockdowns.
- The government is urging Americans to show respect and manners again.
The Department of Transportation wants travelers to straighten up.
A new ad uses old and new footage to point out how much worse behavior on flights has become since lockdowns ended.
Flight crews have faced everything from shouting matches to actual fights.
Many of these problems start with too much drinking before boarding.
One flight attendant said he wishes airport bars faced some accountability.
The DOT ad contrasts polite passengers from the past with today’s rowdy crowds.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy asks viewers if they’re helping others, controlling their kids, and treating flight staff respectfully.
Statistics back up the message.
The government says outbursts are up 400% since 2019.
One in five flight attendants have faced physical incidents.
Unruly events have doubled since 2019.
The ad aims to make people feel embarrassed about poor travel behavior.
Having some shame about acting up at 30,000 feet could be just what’s needed to bring back basic manners in the sky.
It’s time to act like Americans and respect each other, even when packed in coach.
If you’ve had enough of rude flyers and want to see common sense return to air travel, keep an eye on what DOT is doing.
Wyatt Matters
Civility isn’t just some old-fashioned idea; it’s what keeps ordinary Americans able to travel and work together. When folks show respect, everyone wins.

“The ad aims to make people feel embarrassed about poor travel behavior.

You are kidding, right? IDIOTS that at up like that, whether on an airplane or elsewhere, HAVE NO SENSE OF SHAME! How can anyone expect them to feel embarrased?
If you want to put an end to this nonsense, just open the door and kick a few of them out from about 30,000 feet and the rest might, I repeat, might, get the message, but even then, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
