I'd make a point of switching from a one long flight to two short flights so that neither of my flights had a movie on it. Instead of a JFK-LAX non-stop, I'd go JFK to ORD/STL/DFW/DEN and then on to LAX. (Or, maybe, ISP to BWI to BNA to MCI to PHX to LAX, but only if I was on LUV. :-) ) And I'd bring a book instead of just sitting there, whining and moping. Or I'd work the cross-word puzzle in the in-flight magazine. After all, what did people do before in-flight movies? Airlines make lots of various accommodations for lots of various impairments, but an in-flight movie is not a basic human right that that must be protected at all costs. Will the plaintiff be happier if the airlines just decide to do away with all in-flight movies? Then we'd all be as miserable as he apparently is. And, as a bonus, the rest of us would have one person to focus our discontent upon. :-) The world is not fair. People ought to learn to deal with that instead of trying desperate to even every playing surface they step onto. And they ought to be damned thankful that a non-captioned in-flight movie is the worst thing they encounter in a month. Heartless in Vienna
