Still loading paxs onto VC10s one last week full 127 pax 14mins. (seats are still backwards!) As for the other charters 757s Tri Stars A330s we go for a women and kinder and the sick and lame first and allow a 5 min gap until rest of pax move and only allow 20 at a time up the steps. Strictly enforce company policy on hand luggage and if the pax give you verbal shut them off the flight straight away! rest of paxs get the idea fairly quickly. normally alowing 20 -25 mins to load a 200seat fit aircraft, normally manage it in considerably less. this works for free seating as well as allocated but I usher the groups out in setting order normally get them on much faster than free seating. Also control check in staff so all families allocated seating in same area so brats are localised ( normally at the rear to allow other pax on and off faster.
