Key takeaways:
- The back-to-front boarding method is not efficient due to full-stop stows and limited pullaways.
- The window-middle-aisle method is slightly faster than random boarding, reducing seat shuffles.
- The theoretically fastest way to board a plane involves standing in an exact order, maximizing pullaways and parallels.
- A shadow of the perfect method, boarding grouping the first side of the plane in every other row, has a chance of working in the real world.
The video discusses the inefficiency of the back-to-front boarding method, which results in full-stop stows and limited pullaways, wasting human life and resources. The window-middle-aisle method is slightly faster than random boarding, as it eliminates seat shuffles and increases the chances of pullaways and parallels.
The theoretically fastest way to board a plane involves standing in an exact order, maximizing pullaways and parallels. However, implementing this method in the real world is challenging due to human factors such as families, friends, and the inability to follow instructions perfectly.
A shadow of the perfect method, boarding grouping the first side of the plane in every other row, has a chance of working in the real world. This method allows humans with families and friends to board together, gives airlines boarding groups they can still play with, and is still faster than current methods.
In conclusion, while the theoretically fastest way to board a plane is unattainable in the real world, a shadow of this method can be implemented to improve boarding efficiency.
