Cabin Lights Required On for Night Flights? (No)

Help me out here AS loyalists...sitting on an E75 at 8:00pm at night with the sidewall lights lit up like a tree. SkyWest flight attendant says it's an Alaska requirement that the cabin remain this bright. WTH?!?! And I'm not talking during service - both F/A's have retreated behind their curtains in galley's and it's nice and bright in here. Not sure I can recall a flight, let alone an airline, that requires the cabin be illuminated on night flights at all times.

Not true. Ive been on many night flights - including those recently - where that is not the case.

I was just on a SkyWest E75 two hours ago and they turned the lights off. Great view of the sunset! Same thing happened last week.
I have no idea why they left the lights on for your flight, but I'm willing to bet it is not because there was a policy requiring them to.
Maybe write into alaskalistens.com, they do seem to read them.

Agree it sounds like someone is misinterpreting a directive...
