What I find most amazing is how the vast majority of pax never ask how to turn it off, even in red-eye flights where it is most annoying. People nowadays on aircraft seem to have become zombies who never question what is happening no matter how miserable it gets. It's as if the airlines have beaten us down to the point that "as long as the plane doesn't crash into a firey ball of flame", then it was a good flight.
