Shades will be up for boarding and left for the passenger to decide the position they prefer, they can be up or down for takeoff and landing. I think the only time the crew would use the master switch would be to bring the shades down if the sun comes up and the passenger is asleep and the light is disturbing other passengers. It is also easy for the crew to reach the blind control at each seat. Each seat has a manual backup control.

Just a thought as I am so sick of the crap thermal paper BP that the T5 SSCI machines spit out, do you get a card one in F or not? If not could this be part of the upgrade to facilities?

FFS why ae you sick of these, they are there to get you from the printer to your seat and no more than that. I couldn't give a toss if they are on bog paper. Once I leave the ac or get my bags I never keep them.

I actually needed my boarding passes for an insurance claim recently and untill I found the remains of them at the bottom of my bag I thought they had gone for good.
Oh and they make a rubbish bookmark.

No, not really sure why I collect them, maybe to remember when and where I've travelled. So the consequence is that I never use SSCI at T5. Not much waiting at the normal desk anyway.

And how the hell is anyone going to see whats on my BP unless they actually reach inside my coat and lift it out of the pocket in there?

I've BP's, menus & other assorted bits 'n' bobs, along with a vast collection of amenity kits & Jim Jams, from the various airlines I've travelled on.
In fact, I've boxes of the stuff

I have kept all boarding cards since 1999 alas they have nearly all faded as they were printed on that plasticky paper. Shame as my First F ones have seemed to die. I almost prefer saving my PDFs now!

On the subject of the older BP's fading, I've thought about embarking on a project of scanning all my old BP's along with associated menus, etc & saving them in folders sorted by year, date & airline.
A laborious task no doubt, but given that I've spent over a week a year or so ago up until 3am every night, sorting out thousands upon thousands of iTunes tracks, making sure that the art work, year of release, spelling, artist, album, etc is absolutely perfect. A couple of hundred BP's to be scanned would be minor by comparison.

It saves them as PDFs, and will recognise text as well. I can scan around 150 sheets at a time and it does it within a few minutes - though I've not done it for boarding passes yet, I've used it to scan in loads of old paper photos.

Do you want to come up and see my collection of still in the packets dried out moist towelettes?
