Come on guys, only ONE of you 'real' airline' passengers can be last. No loitering at the back of the queue please, the gate has to close now.
We do not "loiter", which when done with intent is a criminal offence.
We wait, with grace, to the end, 'cos we sit at the front and prefer the great unwashed to do their version of a ruck and maul, before we, in a gentlemanly fashion, take our place onboard.
Of course, the great unwashed love to ruck and maul and so feel very comfortable on certain carriers, where this process is encouraged per Eidah's admonishment that "IMO everyone who work for the airline industry should be able to appreciate a company that can make its pax run to the gate on time, even if it's just to get a window seat."
As to the fare difference, well we couldn't really care about that as we don't pick up our own tabs, so the Moet, Black Label, Widow or even the Trocken that our German friends serve tastes all the better for being gratis.
In fact, I actively encourage those of lesser standing to fly with certain low cost carriers, since it keeps the terminals at the major airports that little bit clearer, reduces the security queues and the hassle at the exec club reception, when foirced to wait behind some lesser mortal who expected access on a 2 bob ticket.... really
