Guys,
There are many reasons the blinds are closed
A few examples to help see the companies point of view, I should say here it is not just EVA, but many longhaul companies.
- It helps people sleep to minimise jet lag
- It reduces reflections on the PTVs so people can watch the screen properly
They will insist the blinds remain closed to ensure the Majority of pax can either sleep or watch film with out a burst of bright sunlight interrupt their sleep/entertainment.
I know it sucks sometimes as even though I am crew, I like to look out the window also, especially over the mountains!
BUT, one thing that is drilled into us during training is you must help the majority not the minority... so unless you can get the majority of the pax to agree it is ok to have your window blind open, you are fighting a losing battel with the CC
Hope you can understand the companies reasoning!
