HA, don’t be so angry…. Anyway, I agree its right to “blinds down”. Some people prefer shades up, because they wanna see the view outside or something like that. I don’t object if you say the attendants give such instruction to save money or to avoid work, but it’s for your safety. I always obey them on any flight I take, and will do so in future, because I fall asleep as soon as I board on the plan, not failed.
