Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window. (lemmy.ml)

Like, I'm on a plane. I don't want to watch Toy Story when I can do that at home, I want to see what the pilots see. And that way every seat has technically a window to look out of.

Oh I see, the last thing I said about turning on the TV. Well you’re right that wouldn’t be the same but part of the problem was that we didn’t really know what we were missing. My kid got all stirred up over the fact that he couldn’t see the rocket. TV would have been something.

A lot of thing you can see from a plane have this problem of only being on one side so yeah the TV would just be a slight concession to folks on the wrong side.
