We're all big boy/girls and it isnt our first rodeo. I'm sure we all know when we need to be vigilant and when we can relax.
isnt it easier to just be cool then have an argument with everyone you fly with? Personally conflicts can be hazardous for flights as well.

And the FO doesn’t want to talk to you now anymore since you pulled down his shades.
Seriously though, it’s not like the 737 really does long legs and people should be able to put down their electronic devices for a 3 hour flight, even a transcon . I don’t have the manuals memorized, I just know them well enough to know when something isn’t right and where to find the answer, as should we all. As far as the sunshades go, my FOM uses the words “strictly prohibited”. When it comes to watching movies, texting, trip trading, etc during flight, the regs say that no person may use, nor may the PIC allow the use of personal electronic devices. It’s pretty cut and dry. If the other person is upset because I want to follow the FAR’s and ask that they do the same, then so be it.
