I must admit that I've never understood the twits who stand up as soon as the plane comes to rest and block the aisles impatiently waiting for the doors to open. If I'm near the door, I'm one of 'em. Usually I just sit and wait until the aisles are clear. If not, I'm often among the last to debark. I invariably meet all the ones that crowded the aisles again - waiting at the baggage carousels. So do I unless I have some business to do. __________________________________________________ ___________ A San Franciscan in 47.452 mile² San Francisco http://geocities.com/dancefest/ http://geocities.com/iconoc/ ICQ: http://wwp.mirabilis.com/19098103 IClast at SFbay Net

:Simple solution embarking: "All passengers who will not use the :overhead bins may board at will. If we catch you opening an overhead :bin, we'll take you off to board last." Then the call by rows. If you have no need of any overhead space it makes no sense to board early. Why stick ones self in a tin can longer than necessary? When I fly BC I do not line up early either. There (in my experience) was always room. :Simple solution debarking: "Passengers with nothing in the overhead :bins may debark as soon as the Captain allows. Others shall wait :until the aisles have cleared." :Simple enforcement in newly-manufactured 'planes: Electromagnets :keeping the bins' doors shut until the appropriate time. Extra weight, but an interesting concept. :All I carry aboard 'planes is a portfolio about 12x18x½ inches and :weighs less than a pound unless I've put a book in it. Lucky you. :I don't rush to get my bags. I do whatever else I have to do, such as :getting a car or making a 'phone call first.

You leave it in the lot. What he means is getting the rental contract signed, etc., so that all you have to do is go to the car with your bags.

Most people are bent over because of the limited head room.

I guess that you've never made a connecting flight, especially after your incoming flight has been greatly delayed. Even short scheduled connections without delays can cause problems, especially if you're near the back of the plane. George

No. :Most people are bent over because of the limited head room. Not by the aisle. It is true if you are in the second or third seat. You are not standing up completely. In fact the way the seats protrude against the back of your leg and the backward lean of the forward seat makes it practically impossible to stand up straight. I guess you are just one of those twits mentioned at the top of the thread.

Are you getting off the plane any quicker by standing up in the aisle near the rear of the plane?
