I believe I’m correct that the LUAL used to require a curtain around the crew rest seat, before bunks?

Now we know why.

We live in a world of instant news, even the non-news kind.

Next: a time lapse video of a captain on a break NOT sleeping at all, followed by a cry of UAL being unsafe because the the pilot wasn’t rested for the landing.

Exactly. It this were a Delta flight, the headline would have been "HERO PILOT TAKES PRECAUTIONARY HEROIC NAP BEFORE LANDING".

And if it were a CNN article, there'd be a mention of and 5 links to the Dr. Dao story.

Waiting for someone to come through with one stripe. See if anyone will notice or comment.

But why do they only go to 5? Why not 6?

Why not 11

So... they're upset about a third pilot sleeping in the cabin.
So, I'm sure they wouldn't be thrilled about one pilot on a 2-man crew napping in the cockpit.

Yet, somehow, single-pilot airliners are going to be a-ok with the public. Uh huh... right.

Some very real parallels between that article, the general public, the press and the airline industry and this Monte Python scene....
