"If that inconveniences the crew, so be it."
Ah Sir, but you are not incoveniencing the Crew. For us the flight time is work time and we expect to be up and about. And on our planes when we have a break, you won't see us because we retire to our own little cozy compartment, where the blinds will be down.
So, if you're ever on one of my flights, all blinds will be up for takeoff and landing as per requirement, and if you decline my polite request to pull them down because of an early sunrise, well, whatever floats your boat.
And you can be assured I will still try to make the flight as nice as possible for you.
