What is interesting is that, according to the Window Shades (POLICY QUESTION ONLY!!!) thread, until about a year ago, CO actually had a policy to ask for shades to be down during IFE. So they forced you to raise the shades at take off, lower the shades after, and then raise the shades at landing. Why even have shades that passengers can move in that case? They should be automated.

I understand the safety issue on takeoff and landing, but can they really force you to open or close it simply for IFE?
