Never understood the rush to get off the plane when you have to stand at the baggage claim for 20 minutes anyway. Just sit there and relax until the aisle starts moving, then head out when there is a spot. Take a nice relaxing stroll through the terminal and then maybe have 10 min or less to stand around.

You've been sitting there for hours. Cramped into a tiny seat, with strangers touching you on both sides. No personal space, you're sitting their breathing in their gross smells while they're literally in direct physical contact with you.

But now you have a chance to finally stand up and get a little closer to the personal space of civilized human beings. At least a few inches apart, holy fuck. Maybe most importantly, you can stand rather than sit. Your backs been aching for so long, cramped into this bizarre yoga pose required for a normal sized human to fit into an airplane seat. Your legs have been cramping for the last half of the flight, finally heres a chance to stand up and stretch those legs, holy shit.

And you think we're not gonna take that opportunity right fucking away? Just cause we've gotta do some other stuff today that will involve waiting?

Inventor, you must be trolling.

Even putting all that aside. Imagine for a moment that airplane seats were civilized. You've got a whole foot between you and your neighbor. You've got enough room to fully recline and stretch out.You've got like a 6 hour layover before your connection.

Even in that situation, aint no fucking way douchebag in row 32 is getting off before me in row 31. Waiting in line is the hallmark of a civilized society. Anyone who cuts in line in basically any situation is a fucking waste of life and society should not allow it. Wait in fucking line or go the fuck back to Africa - no matter what color you are - because people who cut in line are living at a mud-hut level of civilization, and shouldnt be tolerated in normal society.

[edit - because some people always try to argue based on exceptions and edge cases, I'll add this caveat. Obviously if the flight was delayed and the peanut waitresses request that you let people with tight connections deplane first, we can follow that process. Its a reasonable exception even if there are some faggots who will cheat and abuse it. But the exceptions obviously don't change the rule]

My wife suffers from agoraphobia so it's either run from the plane as quick as she can, or xanax.

I sat in the emergency exit row 90% of the time, either aisle or window, so I had the extra leg room and usually people next to me that mostly fit in the seat. After 50+ flights, I can't recall a single flight where I sat next to someone so bad it was memorable, while on the opposite side, I still remember the nice people, 10+ years later.

Of course it's still a shitty uncomfortable cattle car, even in the emergency row, but it's only an extra 5 minutes after a few hours, which is nothing to get upset about. I accept it's all part of the process. Sure, I'll stand a minute to stretch my legs on arriving at the gate, then sit back down and wait the 5 minutes.

Also, you've got that backward, civilized people are patient, can control their emotions, and don't throw a tantrum if a few people go in front of them; it's the inventors that are me me me, everyone else be damned, I'm going first. Patience takes practice.

Imagine flying with the fucking animals and jackals in economy rather than getting treated like a human being in first class.

Air India's 787 just crashed with 200 PoB

In another thread I mentionned that I didn't care about flying 787, I just avoided completely 737 max, and I was told by FoH concensus that "you shouldn't". So I booked A350 for this summer. Never doubt FoH concensus, you'll die.
That being said I wouldn't have booked Air India, even in A350 or A380...
