Please get the passenger window blinds / shades up!
With most carriers, window shades need to be up for takeoff and landing to improve situational awareness in case of an evacuation. No matter if you are a pilot, working at an airport or just an airplane spotter - we usually look at planes when window shades should be up. This A330 is giving me the impression that my cabin crew is doing a very poor job.
And even when window shades are used during flight, it usually is not that erratic as shown on this A330. They tend to be down on the sunny side, especially with low sun. And on long range flights when many passengers are trying to find some sleep, the cabin crew will enforce that all shades are closed.
