Well, on some recent flights, I now hear the opposite. Close the window shade during taxi/takeoff/landing if in the exit row.
Anyone hear this one or know the reason?
Yesterday on a 737 the FA told exit row folks to keep the window shade down for taxi/takeoff/landing, because sliding the shade down was "open." 2 of 4 people slid the shades up, closing the window. One realized their mistake and quickly put the shade down, while the other remained clueless until the FA returned. She laughed and said this is always confusing.
