I've often wondered whether they could "containerize" passengers by having the seating as a whole remove from the plane. People then have all the time in the world to get seated outbound, and additional space to deplane at their own speed inbound. You could even come up with a system for putting luggage directly under their seats obviating the need to collect it separately. (It would of course be a massive redesign of planes and airports, so probably not an easy starter).

Even assuming airframes could be redesigned to make this possible [at zero cost, without implications for structural integrity or operational complexity of the resulting aircraft] I'm not sure who benefits here?
- ajmurmann 3y agoNot sure if it needs to be a tube. Maybe the seats could be on a rail that slides into the airplane. Having to move the nose and tail of the plane up for this also brings us closer to my dream of flushing the entire airplane with Clorox between flights.
