Would you fly in a plane with a windowless cabin? -- (edited) - JD Jul 31, 20:33 28
- no -- nm - Beaker Aug 1, 06:34
- I've done it, it's fine. The plane was freezing, it was a flight to the Arctic in May. -- nm - mafic Aug 1, 00:08
- some old article was saying windows was one of the drawbacks to the flying wing design, you could seat a lot more, but no windows -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 31, 22:27
- ~/C130 rolling down the strip, Airborne Rangers on a one way trip/~ - IrishStephen Jul 31, 22:27

- sure -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 31, 21:12
- I love sitting in the window seat. It would feel weird to be moving without the visuals -- nm - amoxy Jul 31, 21:02
- No. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jul 31, 20:59
- Wouldn't bother me, but would be nice to have an outside view... I still love seeing out the window as I fly. -- nm - colin Jul 31, 20:56
- I wouldn't mind. But I'd prefer a windowless plane with video displays. -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Jul 31, 20:56 2
  - that would be fun to fly on. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 1, 05:11
  - Or maybe Oculus Air - where it just removes the plane -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 21:02
- I would prefer a window, but as long as I get where I'm going I don't really care. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 20:41 1
  - (I would certainly want to know in advance when booking) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 20:42
- Seems today a lot of passengers close the blinds so it might as well be windowless. -- nm - Meg Jul 31, 20:36 13
  - Ryan Air removes them, which is a spectacular level of cheapness. -- nm - Reagen Jul 31, 20:37 12
    - But very practical from an engineering standpoint -- (edited) - JD Jul 31, 20:41 7
      - there are still windows, just not blinds - Reagen Jul 31, 20:48 6
        
        Als they are a short haul airline, so the passengers probably don't use the blinds much -- nm - The Roger More Innuendo Jul 31, 21:09 4
        
        They also don't seem to think passengers use knees much. -- nm - Reagen Jul 31, 21:13 2
        
        That's becoming a problem on so many airlines, I'm not even sure yow people of your stature manage to fly at all nowadays. -- nm - ty97 Jul 31, 21:16 1
        
        That's why I wanted "standing only" cabins. -- nm - Michael O'Leary Jul 31, 21:26
        
        If you are flying near sunrise or sunset time, the sun on the horizon can be blinding without a shade to pull down. -- nm - ty97 Jul 31, 21:12
        
        Ahhh...I had the thought: wait removing windows is probably worst than having them. Optimum is no windows from the get go -- nm - JD Jul 31, 20:50
    - The Boeing 787 doesn't even come with them. The windows are designed to have a 'darkening' effect you turn on. - ty97 Jul 31, 20:39 2
      - Well sort of. There's still windows just not mechanical shades. Imagine being in a cargo plane -- nm - JD Jul 31, 20:47 1
        
        Right, that's what I meant, no shades (very different from what you are referring to) - ty97 Jul 31, 20:53
    - Flying Blind in Canada? -- nm - budice Jul 31, 20:38
Joe Maddon inexplicably had pitcher Travis Wood playing LF. - David Jul 31, 19:40 9
- meanwhile, SF pinch hit for a pitcher with another pitcher, then pinch ran for that guy with another pitcher. -- nm - Reagen Jul 31, 20:52
- Had hoped he stayed with the Halos, took over for Scoscia -- nm - budice Jul 31, 20:40
- He almost Bump'd his way through the wall and onto the permanently disabled list. -- nm - Max Jul 31, 19:43 1
  - *almost* like a fox! -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:45
- I'm guessing he had him out there to bring in to face a lefty (and then switch back with the other pitcher). He's done that before. -- nm - pmb Jul 31, 19:43 4
  - That's what I expected but the pitcher handled the entire inning while Wood stayed in Left. -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:45 3
    - Maybe in case someone got on base? I don't know. But in Maddon we trust. -- nm - pmb Jul 31, 19:48 2
      - I'm like 70% sure he was just being goofy. -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:49 1
        
        It's entirely possible. Wood is a good athlete. He pinch runs and pinch hits from time to time. He could easily just be letting him have some fun. -- nm - pmb Jul 31, 19:52

      - Yes, that's where I got it. As I understood Linda, that was info that was in the press pack. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 31, 20:16 2
        
        (That tone reads funny. I meant it as: "Yay, another PCHH listener!") - ralph wiggum Jul 31, 20:20 1
