United Flight Attendant Asks Passenger to Pause Film (thetravel.com)

A United Airlines flight attendant asked a passenger on flight UA2408 from Denver (DEN) to Washington Dulles (IAD) on October 6 to pause the movie Disclosure Day because a couple seated behind them was watching the same film and did not want it spoiled. The passenger complied after pausing his sleeping wife's screen, and the incident drew hundreds of reactions online, including from a flight attendant who said they were mortified a colleague would make such a request. United requires passengers to use headphones for audio and video content and may remove those who refuse.
