Make seats that people can't actually fit in and sell them = FALSE ADVERTISING = FRAUD = PRISON Sell what you don't have = FRAUD = PRISONįorce your workers to work without pay = SLAVERY = PRISON Then you will be sitting pissed off (or in hand cuffs if you dare to stand up for your rights) waiting for the next flight that they feel like allowing you on to! When are Americans going to wake up and demand that the airlines play by the same rules as ANY other business. Keep flying long enough until you check in last and find that you didn't even pay for a seat because they sold 20 more than the plane has. You self important "me me me" types are so funny with your "I paid for my seat" delusions. Now, whether or not flight attendants read the memo and/or actually follow it is a different story…Īnyone else love this American Airlines memo as much as I do?
Who wouldn’t want to enjoy this view?! Bottom lineĪmerican Airlines has told flight attendants on Boeing 787s what us avgeeks have been thinking for a long time, but have largely been afraid to say - stop trying to control the window shades on the 787!
Dimmer than dim windows windows#
While I get everyone is different, I’m always in genuine disbelief when people keep windows fully closed during takeoff and landing, even when they’re not watching a show or trying to sleep. I’ve flown millions of miles, but I’ll never take for granted the miracle of flight, and how gorgeous the world is from several miles up. The other is that flight attendants want to keep the cabin dark in order to encourage people to sleep so that they can provide less service this is definitely the case for some flight attendants.One is that flight attendants think it provides a better experience when windows are dimmed and mood lighting is turned on I believe some flight attendants genuinely think that way.On behalf of myself and all other avgeeks, THANK YOU!Īmerican is instructing flight attendants not to lock 787 window dimmers Why do flight attendants control the 787 window dimmers?įor anyone wondering why flight attendants would try to control the window dimmers, I suppose there are two possible explanations: It’s important that each customer at a window can control their own experience. Do not lock the window features on the Boeing 787. Recent feedback about customer experiences on this aircraft is that the windows are being fully dimmed and locked by flight attendants, leaving customers frustrated that they are unable to control the window features from their seat. The Boeing 787 windows are larger and have unique controls for window shades. I don’t love the 787’s window dimmers system American tells crews not to “lock” window shadesĪs noted by American Airlines has sent out a memo to flight attendants reminding them not to lock the window dimmers on the Boeing 787, because “it’s important that each customer at a window can control their own experience.”Ĭustomers sitting in the window seats enjoy watching take off, landing and even spotting landmarks from the sky. I noted my frustration with this in a recent review of United’s 787-9 business class. Even when the window dimmers aren’t locked, I find the process of controlling the dimmers with buttons to be clunky at best.Crews can control the window dimmers centrally, and can put the dimmers to their maximum setting and “lock” them, so that you don’t even have the option of looking out the window.Even in the fully dimmed mode, it never gets quite as dark as it would with traditional window shades if the sun is on the side of the aircraft you’re on, expect to feel some heat from it.What’s so frustrating about the 787’s window dimmers? These dimmers can be extremely frustrating, and it’s one of the reasons that I prefer the Airbus A350 to the Boeing 787. However, Boeing decided to eliminate the traditional shades that you pull up and down, and instead replaced them with dimmers. The Boeing 787 has bigger windows than most other aircraft, which is awesome. However, there’s one area where new aircraft technology doesn’t benefit customers - that’s the Boeing 787’s window dimmers. There are many areas where new aircraft technology benefits customers, like quieter engines and better fuel efficiency.
