Kill the windows entirely if it can be safely done. I don't care. Cost, safety, speed. All else is optional. And wtf are these guys who panic without windows going to do when they have to close them so others can sleep. I think that's a stupid objection. People are intelligent. They aren't going to panic for this shit. That's idiotic.

People already panic on flights. On my last NRT-LAX flight a woman totally freaked out and started running up and down the aisles screaming. Unfortunately, the Singapore Air crew was far too polite and spoke soothingly to her for far too many hours of a very long flight. I've also seen someone freak out during turbulence on a CDG-IAH flight. The Air France flight crew was less patient and dragged her into the back of the plane where she was presumably restrained or sedated or something. If you've never been on a flight where someone lost their shit, you don't fly very much. Or at least you take short flights.

  I think I'd like it if airlines would mark their flights as "panicky person onboard", etc. That way I can just take the later/earlier flight and leave the crackpots to themselves.

I've never been in a windowless plane, but I think I would be anxious that I'd have a panic attack because of the claustrophobia - not that I'm claustrophobic, I can travel in lifts. When all the windows are closed I don't get anxious because I know if I get a panic attack (which has never happened!) I will always be able to ask someone to open a window, or even jump over a few people and open it myself. But well, maybe you're a psychologist and your flippant dismissal of it all as being "idiotic" is correct.

  Man, I wish I could just form some sort of group of normal people and we could have cheap, fast, efficient things that don't have to cater to the seventh sigma.

      Haha, I laughed. But it can't be elitism if I'm literally asking to cater to the first sigma. It's more exclusionary than elitist.
