Has this guy ever been on any actual planes? His "Status Quo" model is completely unlike any of the planes I've ever been on.
It's easy to improve over a fake strawman
- avidiax 3y agoI assume that the author has been on planes enough to think about this and make a website with a simulation. It seems fairly realistic to me. People in rows toward the front step into the aisle as soon as possible to gather their carry-ons. This blocks everyone rearward that already has their belongings and is in the aisle from deplaning.
- jayd16 3y agoUnloaders will yield to a non-zero average of waiting passengers. Unloading passengers in fore rows can predict, time, and exploit gaps in passing back row passengers such that they can unload without causing slowdown (in this way full and flush in non-optimal). Its really not that realistic.
- very_good_man 3y agoThese little real world improvements are available in both systems and do not impact the overall conclusion.
- jayd16 3y agoExploiting gaps and streaming out passengers into the isle is antithetical to fill and flush. It can't be added or it changes the entire concept.
- very_good_man 3y agoThe simulation currently encodes an average 2 second gap between passengers in the deplaning aisle - in theory you could shoot in when a passenger with a longer minbuffer is near you. This can be done so long as it does not cause accordion-style congestion in the aisle.
- jayd16 3y agoYes you could, and that would be closer to real life but it would fly in the face of the proposed, flight attendant orchestrated flush.
