I was sleeping on an aisle seat once until a child on the window kept opening and closing the shade. Something reflected straight into my eyes. I'm for the plane wide shade-off scheme.
While I of course have thoughts about window shade rights, what I'm actually pointing out is that the crew override is a significant departure from previous—normal—norms of shade usage. Suggesting that it's reasonable to need to obtain shade operation rights from a crew member overlooks this.
