I get that some people have business waiting at the pickup and wanting to look professional, but why everybody else?

If you wear shorts and for some reason the slides have to be used to exit the plane, you risk being burned.

I'll take that risk over wearing jeans on an 8 hour flight.

Yeah, I didn't check the stats but I'm pretty sure we have much more chances of just being hit by a car while existing than getting our thighs burned by the emergency slides while evacuating a plane, so I also sometimes take that chance anyway.

I really don't get people's issues with jeans, I can sleep in them
