[edit] Changes

I've made several changes to this article but I haven't had the time to cite and sources. This still needs to be done. Also I still think the article is of a very poor quality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.218.71.5 (talk) 23:38, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article title

Shouldn't the title of this article be "red-eye flights" with a hyphen? Ehn 09:20, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I agree. I also think it should be singular (red-eye flight) to conform to Wikipedia naming conventions. Any objections? —Caesura^(t) 16:17, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

It's done. —Caesura^(t) 10:35, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Shouldn't the first word be capitalized since it's at the beginning of a sentence? —LaotianBoy1991 12/14/05

In a more technical article, a twenty-four hour clock would be more appropriate than here. 68.6.85.167 05:03, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn’t somebody check a style manual to get a clue about spelling, punctuation, grammar, and syntax?! This page appears to have been built by the proverbial monkeys chained to typewriters! For example, “4:00 AM in the morning.” What is that supposed to mean? Is it possible for there to be a “4 AM in the Evening”? What about a “4 AM in the afternoon”? Why not just write “4 AM” and allow the time to speak for itself?

I did some changes along those lines. Ehn 18:12, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Can't the flight also take off and land during Pacific/Eastern Daylight Time depending on the time of year? Standard time only occurs during the winter, and Daylight Time is during the summer. So when a red eye operates in the summer it would be operating in Eastern/Pacific Daylight time.

"But the term can refer to any overnight flight which travels in the opposite direction of the Earth's rotation, i.e., east to west." Grammar is a bit ambiguous, sentence sounds like it's saying the *flight* goes from east to west, when the "i.e., east to west" is actually referring to the Earth's rotation. Would have worked better as "... which travels from west to east, opposite the Earth's rotation from east to west." I almost went in and changed it before I realized fixing it would involve more of a change than I'm comfortable making to someone else's article. :) Lihan161051 (talk) 00:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

There is also a 2005 movie by the same name Redeye (film). Perhaps a link to the red eye disambiguation page would be appropriate.--Phixxor 04:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
