Your logic is predicated on the assumption that we currently have optimal processes for boarding/deplaning (given human psychology). Anyone with a passing familiarity with the airline industry knows how ludicrous it is to make the assumption that everything is run optimally[1]. Your assumption is just as "fucking stupid" and only marginally less contrived than my (facetious) hypothetical. > This whole comment thread seems to be full of single tech bros that are mad they can't get off the plane faster, and are trying to design "solutions" and "algorithms" to make it faster, all while assuming every other passenger is also a single person who can deplane as fast as them. You've clearly only read a fraction of the comments if you think that no one's thinking about (eg) family boarding and deplaning. And "tech bro" is a pretty reliable tell for "I'm hopelessly out of depth when it comes to comprehending this conversation". [1] This isn't quite a knock on airlines themselves; the economics of the industry leads to bizarre incentives.
