Am I the only one who has to constantly argue with U.S. flight attendants to keep my window shades open, at least partially, during daytime overseas flights? For the record, we always flight FC (sometimes BC) so I don't feel I am being particularly obtrusive; everyone has an individual seat video monitor. And, as another flyer said to me, "That's what eye shades are for" if you want to nap. I have trouble reading with the seat lights, which are never in the proper place for reading. And I personally feel that the daylight helps combat jet lag.

I don't have a problem with BA, SQ, or LH however.
