If I'm not worried about room for my carry-on, I sometimes place myself in the group, "final boarding!"

One of the reasons 8 groups is especially pathological w/a 50 seat plane is everyone uses gate check. No overhead fights.

That measures "better" based on real efficiency, not degree to which boarding can be used to reinforce indignities of inequality, right?
-
Yes, the issue is airlines want to let the cattle cars see the swells board and desire their streamlined life..
-
Never could understand that. If I was a swell, I'd hate the parade of peasants past my seat, and want to board last, leave first.
-
When you fly first class they seat you comfortably and then will literally hold up the poors to serve mimosas.
-
It is spectacle on both ends. The swells get to watch the sweaty poors while they sip their alchojuice and reflect on the joys of wealth.

Nouveau riche. I swear, they will not blush from any display.

A better system: 50 individual boarding groups, each one sold via blind auction. Didn't win any? Hope there's room on the next plane!

They do it wrong too. If they filled back to front then the whole affair would go by that much faster.

You're just lucky to be a small flyer. We BIG flyers REALLY have problems!

I'm in group 8 at this very moment and I feel like a total failure. This is America's caste system at work
