People who stand up immediately when the plane lands and the seatbelt sign is off

I think if people have their stuff they should be able to hightail it off the plane, regardless of row.

Wrong. People pay a premium to be in the front of the plane. Respect it.

Avoiding passport control queues in some airports. Dulles, for ex, if you're not a citizen. You don't want to be the last of several flights to arrive and find several hundred people in front of you.

But again, with small kids, we usually end up somewhere in the middle even if we rush. Sometimes it takes more than an hour.

Agreed, but if you are in row 25 you have to wait for rows 1-24 to empty anaway. So why the rush to stand up?

Because at least you can stretch your legs out. Standing is way, way more comfortable than sitting.

But let’s be honest. Most people aren’t standing just to stretch their legs. If they’re on the aisle seat, they’re rushing to get their bag, or leaning into the aisle /middle people.

This is one of those things that reminds me that Kindergarten doesn’t teach people how to wait nicely in a line like it proposes to.

They're doing both. To me, it's far more preferable to stand and get ready and wait, than sit and not get ready and wait. It's comfortable, it shaves 1.7 seconds off your time. It's better in every way, even if slightly.

I feel like the people who just sit there and do nothing are the same people who go slow in the left lane. Or they're slow walkers. You either get it, or you don't.

If you need to shave 1.7 seconds off your time, other than in marathons, F1 racing, or NASCAR, you are living life unnecessarily stressed. We all end up at the same stop lights, waiting for the same exit in the car park, or in the same grocery check out lane. The difference is you’re more likely to have wrapped yourself around a light post driving like a maniac.

Cut time where it matters. If it mattered so much, you wouldn’t have time to post here.

Because you all are suckers. Why should I wait behind you?

When I see these people behind me I always get up and block. I let everyone out of my sections and move slow.

They want to get ready and stretch their legs. It's not a mystery.

You're way too invested in this topic. If you're coming back and defending staying put, you're taking it way too seriously. It's not a difficult concept.

As PP noted, Kindergarten SHOULD have taught you to wait your turn. If not, someone else will teach you. I never see the runners let off first, I always see the priority connecting flights let off first, then front rows, as it should be. You are not special.

Reminds me of Washington crossing the Delaware Turnpike. "We've all got places to go!"

You may want one of these to look at the image you're projecting, pp.

Jerk move. Do you also drive around traffic in exit lanes and cut people off who've been waiting their turn? In addition to being rude, consider that if everyone acts like this it will create chaos and actually slow things down. You are free riding which makes you an entitled ahole.

+1 Uhh, really? You actually think that would make a more efficient system? Do you not think that "system" would quickly turn into people who think they can just grab their stuff real quickly also fall under this? It would be a sh*tahoe - like trying to board a Ryan air flight

It's so selfish and rude.

At Dulles it matters more where you stand in the people mover vs when you get off the plane bc the people mover will wait to leave until it’s full.
