Onan the Clumsy

I don't get it. The best I've heard is that they get to put their luggage in their own overhead, but that's not really the case as only 1st class can put their handhelds in the bins in first class anyway.
Why load 'em first? Sure they get on first, and all the spotty oiks have to gawk at them as they shuffle past, tugging a respectful forelock. It's not as if they can hit the oiks with rolled up newspapers or riding crops, or exercise Droit de Seigneur. Those days are over.
So they get on first, but to cramped little seats. Ok cramped big seats, but then they have to put up with the assault of body odour and garlic breath, not to mention the squarking of the chickins the peasants bring on for an in flight snack.
Why not let them get on last? It'd be like having the whole theatre seated before Her Majesty arrives.
It just seems so much more logical to put 'em on last, so how come?
