A special chute around the middle of the plane, that speedy
un-boaders could use to simply slide out of the plane and
onto the tarmac? |

Suitcase to follow? Hmmm...might work. I hate waiting to get
off a plane. You get there and just stand...waiting for life to
continue, and you're all excited to see the people waiting to
greet you, and it's your vacation, and I can think of a
thousand reasons why it would be nice. |

I've never really understood why everyone stands up and fights to
retrieve their overhead luggage as soon as the plane stops
moving. |
|
|
Nobody is going anywhere until the doors open; you have to half-
crouch under the overhead bins like some sort of pre-
Neanderthal; and you don't get any further forward in the queue
of people waiting to leave the plane than you would if you just
sat there until the doors open. |

It's madness, I tell you, sheer lunacy. Is this what we built the
pyramids for? |

I think we can confidently answer that one: No, we did not build the pyramids to assist or indeed to hinder aircraft disembarkation in any way whatsoever. |

[MaxwellBuchanan], I don't get that bit either. Sure, it's nice to stretch your legs after sitting for so long, but "must get up and get bags out IMMEDIATELY" is a weird frame of mind.
Unless I have to get to a connecting flight (in which case, I normally tell the cabin crew so they let me get up and to the door early) I just stay in my seat, relaxing. I'm nearly always the last (passenger) off the plane. |
