We&#8217;ve had enough,&#8221; the post reads.<\/p>\n<p>The post is a continuing joke on a previous post TPA made in November, calling to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FlyTPA\/status\/1942929570983800869\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">ban crocs<\/a> at the airport, and now says it is taking on &#8220;an even larger crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know this decision could be disruptive to someone in your life,&#8221; TPA&#8217;s statement reads. &#8220;It&#8217;s time to have a difficult conversation with them. You can do this. We (and Phoebe) believe in you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While this statement is lighthearted, this isn&#8217;t the first time pajamas at airports have been discussed in recent memory.<\/p>\n<p>In late November, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtsp.com\/article\/travel\/department-of-transportation-launches-civility-campaign-for-air-passengers-as-holiday-travel-season-begins\/509-511e28a1-3b19-456e-88e1-69d50a4a97e7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">&#8220;civility campaign,&#8221;<\/a> asking passengers to dress &#8220;with respect,&#8221; including not wearing pajamas at the airport.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t mandate you dress up, but don&#8217;t wear pajamas and slippers to the airport. I think if you dress a little better, you behave a little better,&#8221; he said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>TPA is now asking for &#8220;help&#8221; to become the world&#8217;s first crocs and pajamas-free airport.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do your part.
