I've been reading this thread with a lot of interest and have noted an occasional post alluding to blinding sunlight as a possible source of flight deck disorientation.

However, as SLF I don't quite understand that premise. Don't you guys and gals up front in the pointy end wear sunglasses? If you do, don't they help? I"m sure the sunglasses you wear are of the highest quality so I don't understand how sunlight can be of such a distraction.

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct my assumptions. I meant this not in the least bit disrespectful. Merely curious.

Thanks.
