Some of the deplaners hold up the next flight they need to board. Airlines could optimize that.

- r00fus 7y agoThanks - you made my point more effectively - one slow deplaning flight could hold up flights for those passengers connecting and the results cascade. Most of those connecting flights are probably with the same airline.
- kortilla 7y agoNot really. Airlines can’t make the layovers tighter because the issue is variance in delays, not problems deplaning. Also, the US airlines will not hold a flight due to a delayed inbound unless it’s got a shitload of the passengers. I’ve seen Delta depart on time and cause 10 passengers on a delayed flight to miss by only 15 minutes.
