1 replyOn one hand I understand they may feel scammed, on the other hand except landing and take off, there is absolutely nothing entertaining to be seen from the window. Usually white void without hint of an end. And at night you won't even see the take-off/landing especially when crew switches lights on.

windows give them a greater level of comfort in an otherwise stressful environment."

Sometimes after 20 of climbing, turning, and getting jostled by rough air, my inner ear will be screaming at me that we're falling. Being able to see clearly out the window definitely helps, so I choose it when possible. On the other hand you are farther from the central axis so you feel rolling motion a little more, but that's pretty minor.
