I thought I was the only one who hated the new norm (usually enforced through social dynamics, not crew instructions) where you’re supposed to close all the shades so you can’t see scenery and flights are dark at all hours of the day.https://twitter.com/nichcarlson/status/1174290289885884416 …
I have always loved the view from above and always choose a window seat. Closed shades do not advance safety. If someone wants me to close the shade I will but I will be sad.
