      “If you don’t like it don’t fly”

      Seriously just shut up.

      Edit: LMAO just saw your other comment where you actually said this sincerely. You’re a parody of yourself.

      Have you ever turned a screen off on one of these planes? They turn back on. So you turn them off again. Sooner or later, they turn back on. And repeat.

          People like you constantly give corporations an inch because “it’s not a big deal” and here we are.

          I don’t think you’re being beaten up for it. I certainly am not beating you up for it. But usually, yeah, the screen does come back on during the flight. I think they turn it back on automatically every time there’s an announcement. As somebody who finds screens like that very distracting and even migraine-inducing (the “busyness” of that sort of thing is a big trigger), it’s really frustrating.

          Depends on the plane and system it has. Last United flight I was on it stayed off the entire flight. I use my phone and generally don’t look at it anyway but it was nicer I suppose.

        You can, there’s a button combo. It changes sometimes but if you spam a few things I can always black it out

        But that’s not the point, it still sucks
