Can anyone tell me why EVA (an excellent Taiwan airline) insists on shutting all the window blinds during day flights.
I recently flew BKK/LHR on a beautiful clear day only to have the cabin attendants insist that I close my blind and sit in Stygian darkness along with everyone else.
I like looking out the window particularly when the weather is CAVOK and you can see for miles. It also affords some great photo opportunities.
There used to be a time when one could be invited to the flightdeck for an even more spectacular view but, these days are, thanks to GW Bush and the current security @#xxx*&!!, forever gone.
