Because everyone knows that it's a terrible imposition to be asked to do something so awful and difficult as you exit the plane...
Since you two mentioned AA, I'm curious how it works on AA B788.
1) B788 has electronic shades so presumably FA could do this at a push of a button for the entire plane. Does AA make the same announcement on its B788?
