How to board fast with only one Jetty
The cabin crew has the right idea when they explain to the boarding pax "there is plenty of room at the back - if you keep walking back there we will be on our way on time / maker the slot / avoid delay etc." Nobody listens. This announcement should be made before boarding.
Trouble lies in the herd brains of the pax. No-one wants to go to the back - we`ll get there later won't we? Same reason they all stand up on arrival when the doors still are shut - they think they will be quicker.
So let`s issue tickets for the back seats and let the pax choose - you can board early if you take a back seat or if you want to wait you can sit at the front. In this way the intelligent guys get on first - go to the back and leave room for the herd guys coming later. Saves about 5 minutes boarding time.
