The boarding process at @SouthwestAir (no assigned seats, random boarding order) has been shown to be 70% more efficient than the "board assigned seats from the back" method that everyone else uses. So why doesn't every airline board this way?

And, of course, not not everyone is at the gate when they should be.
But my next best idea is to have planes with open-top fuselages and giant caddies containing the entire passenger deck of the plane, which can be swapped in and out at the airport in seconds with cranes, while passengers can seat themselves at their leisure at the airport.

Intercontinental flights should be done under anesthesia. Just stack "coffins for the living" into the fuselage, could use some efficient automation for the load/unload process. And could dramatically improve density. Could PoC on second-hand C17, Hercules or Transall

If anesthesia were side-effect and risk free (i.e. if we understood even the foggiest aspects of how or why it works, biologically-speaking), I would be absolutely here for that plan.
