I've taken plenty of international flights, thanks. (Note the "my flight memory" sig.) Anyway, I didn't say I'm opposed to this change. I'm just surprised that there are people who have been clamoring to watch movies during boarding. Generally, people seem alarmingly dependent on media-based stimulation these days. (Remember Alec Baldwin?) I realize this isn't DL's fault, but I find it a disturbing trend in our culture nonetheless...
