Not all heroes wear capes. Some just write memos to flight attendants … The frustrating window of the Boeing 787 is dimmedThere are many areas where new aircraft technologies will benefit customers, such as: B. quieter engines and better fuel efficiency. However, there is one area where the new aircraft technology is not benefiting customers – namely the Boeing 787’s window dimmers. The Boeing 787 has bigger windows than most other aircraft, which is great. However, Boeing decided to remove the traditional hues you pull up and down and replace them with dimmers instead. These dimmers can be extremely frustrating and this is one of the reasons I choose the Airbus A350 over the Boeing 787. What’s so frustrating about the 787’s dimmers?
I noted my frustration with this recently on a report on United’s 787-9 Business Class. I don’t love the 787’s window dimmer system American urges crews not to “lock” the shuttersAs noted by @xJonNYCAmerican Airlines has sent flight attendants a memo reminding them not to lock the Boeing 787’s window dimmers because “it is important that every customer can control their own experience of a window”. Here is the full memo:
On behalf of me and all the other Avgeeks, THANK YOU! American instructs flight attendants not to lock 787 window dimmers Why do flight attendants control the 787 window dimmers?For anyone wondering why flight attendants would try to control the window dimmers, there arguably two possible explanations:
I have flown millions of kilometers, but I will never take the wonder of flight and the beauty of the world from a height of several kilometers for granted. While I understand that everyone is different, I always find myself in disbelief when people keep the windows completely closed during takeoff and landing, even when they are not watching a show or trying to sleep. Who doesn’t want to enjoy this view ?! Bottom lineAmerican Airlines has been telling flight attendants on Boeing 787 what we Avgeeks have been thinking for a long time but are largely afraid to say – stop checking the 787’s blinds! Whether flight attendants read the memo and / or actually follow it is a different story … Does anyone else love this American Airlines memo as much as I do?
