My similar question:- why can't people walk on the plane, shove their luggage in the locker and sit down, allowing the plane to board and be off in 10 mins flat? - instead of parading their asses around and sizing everyone else up, until finally, in a deft
coup de grace when everybody's sitting down at last, get up
again to steal a march on the competition with some final rummaging in the briefcase for the umpteenth time. Eventually it will be only the A1 alpha male left standing, he who will lead us into the New Age of Enlightenment onboard the plane for the course of the 90 mins of the flight ... until the seatbelt signs go off and The Pack makes a rush for the toilets ...
