He should totally patent his boarding method. Who cares that it could save the airlines billions? He could rake in so much dough by licensing the method or suing airlines who use his method without a license! And if the patent is vague enough, he could probably collect on all the other inferior boarding methods too!
In all seriousness, the boarding problem only got worse once airlines started charging for bags as people starting carrying on more and more. I read somewhere that Southwest actually saves more money by offering free checked bags and saving on boarding time than they would make had they charged for free bags.

- madh 15y agoExactly. Most of the time is people dealing with luggage. I wish airlines other than Southwest were less myopic. Plus don't forget all that time spent getting through airport security, especially with liquids and toiletries. Airlines should charge for carry-ons, not checked bags.
