Fair enough. Delta's are easy to turn off, which I do most of the time. I've been on flights where they autoplay--or have ads--and that's incredibly annoying. I enjoy taking some flights watching a film--something I ordinarily don't do--on a screen without distractions.

Easy to turn off after the federally mandated safety video plays. Oh, but what about that downtime before? The airlines already have the ability to disable the power button for the 90 second safety video, what if we changed the lockout to 120s instead? Or 180?

Remember, there didn’t used to be commercials before movies, either.
