Not surprised. When one party is perceived to try to shift the boundary of duties, it is bound to cause the other party to push back even if it is, as everyone mentioned above, just an announcement/request and not mandatory/requirement. It's the perception.

Curious though - do you know if HKE makes the same announcement? It would be interesting if they don't. If they're smart, they should poke fun at CX on this. It could make a great ad in the local market.

I wonder if CX will make the same announcement on the new A359 next year. I presume CX A359 mechanical shades will come with electronic button so FA can do this with a push of a button for all windows (like a master button)? Then again, one could also say is it too much to ask passenger to push a button before they disembark? This argument will never ends ...
