Great topic lol!

As a passenger i really don't get why people feel the need to be up and out of their seat faster than Linford Christie off the blocks! As already pointed out it becomes a bit pointless since you then end up standing in a queue in the aisle for five minutes doing nothing. Even after that whats the rush for? No matter how quickly you get off the aircraft you can guarantee that you'll end up twiddling your thumbs in the terminal for another 10-15 minutes before your baggage arrives at the conveyor belt. I suppose i could understand more haste from those travelling with hand luggage only but how many people on an average flight (especially long haul) can that be?
Personally when the aircraft is taxying and disembarking i take advantage of the time to read another couple of pages of whatever book i brought with me and usually saunter off at the end of the queue
