Sky - I hope there is movement on the screen. At least the little symbols ought to move around the screens right? Also - you sat next to the other pilot for this hypothetical flight and didn't say a word to the person you were flying with or have communication with ATC?

Occasionally there is some movement from the other pilot and the occasional sign of life over the radio, but mostly on a redeye you just sit there.

MS flight sim is a good simulation of what a cross country night flight is like. Another thing a person could do is to place a char towards the wall and sit there for six hours.
