Dimming cabin lights and shades on take off and landing...

I never asked the original question---I merely reinforced the query because I had noticed the same thing....forget it,its really not worth the painful effort and retorts......the pilots and cc,very qualified,fly us here there and anywhere,apparently to the Airlines rules.
Let them do their thing so we are as safe as can be.I really do prefer that way and I travel a lot!

I don't know if you know anything about flying, or emergency lighting and escape lighting systems...but you might want to bone up on the subjects.

our flight attendants are instructred by our company to tell the passengers the lights are being dimmed for evening travel as I outlined in my first post.

IF most of the people on the plane start using their reading lights, it would impact night vision.

you are really a bit annoying, aren't you?

When most people start doing that, things may have to change, but looking around it's usually less than 50%. Generalisation you understand.

Tightslot has made a fair point (not that they need my support) since, FWIW, I was always taught that the threshold to having majority effective night vision was a much more useful 20 minutes. But that's just what I was taught.
