Probably that these days the company actually complies with safety regulations. Apparently back then the flight attendants were pulling luggage from bins right after the plane hit the ground. Passengers were lined up outside before the plane even hit the ground. The plane was pushing back and starting to taxi before passengers were even seated. I doubt any of this complies with safety regulations.

- JadeNB 11y ago> Passengers were lined up outside before the plane even hit the ground. This sounds like an unpleasant experience, but I don't see how it's a safety violation. (It's certainly not at all uncommon when flying today to have the boarding lines at least partially formed before the arriving plane touches down.) What did sound unsafe to me was having passengers deplaning and boarding at the same time.
- xenophonf 11y agoThe flight line is not a safe place for civilians to stand while an airplane taxis in.
- JadeNB 11y agoSorry, I missed a key word: > Passengers were lined up outside before the plane even hit the ground. (emphasis mine). Someone else mentioned that 'modern-day' boarding is through a climate-controlled jet bridge; that's all I've known, so I didn't consider any other approach.
- angersock 11y ago...which in turn leads to the question: what did the safety regulations succeed in doing, exactly, other than slowing down these boarding times?
