this isn't an office just keep it dark.



if window passenger is sleeping and the shade is open while there's light directly coming in causing interference, i'm closing it. it's not "owned" by anyone. plus i dunno how people can sleep in a lit environment, that is really not good for you.


while this wasn't a thing a few years ago, this is sop with all non us airlines, i think ua enforces this too. exit row window shade must be down takeoff landing taxiing and parked.
C'mon, radiation? Do you wear a HASMAT suit every day?
AVOD? Can't you live without a screen blasting at you every minute?
There's no need for what? Daylight??
No, it isn't an office so why pretend it's a bedroom?

I agree that on red eyes you need consideration but daylight flights...? Would you be asleep if you were on the ground?
It's day time, the sun shines. Converse, read, forget that 6 inch screen, you can live without it. Anyone would think that planes were packed with vampires the way some people want to travel.
