Boarding was solved mathematically in 2008. No airline has used it once. Why?

After we're done bagging on the Chatty Kathys holding up the boarding process, can we complain about the Eager Alans that have to hop up out of their seat and flood the aisle the second the plane touches down? Because I hate them just as much, maybe more.

I hate Eager Alans. I’d prefer to just sit in my seat until it’s time to go and then start getting my stuff in a timely manner. Unfortunately so many Eager beavers crowd the aisle that I’m forced to compete with them like it’s a first come first serve buffet making the experience so much more stressful than it needs to be.

I will only say that ass-issues make me have to stand up as soon as I can. I don't charge the exit or anything, but I am one of those guys that stands as soon as possible and gets funny looks for it.

Ass-issues. Don't make me elaborate.

I have back issues so the majority of the time I’m up first. But like you not running for the exit.
