Good news everyone. If you are in a commercial plane crash, you have an 86 per cent chance of surviving. And it gets even better if you exclude plane crashes that kill everybody. If you are in a plane crash in which at least one person survives, there is a 96 per cent chance that surviving person is you.
Boarding aircraft, quite simply, is a mess. Passengers load their own luggage, they’re not good at it, and a single passenger struggling with a bag can hold up the entire process. First class sections mean that for part of the time, aircraft are loading front to back, the slowest possible method. And your boardingpass? Why is it so complicated?
Airlines *want* to board people faster: Less time on the ground means more time in the air making money. But they also know that you can computer model all the loading procedures you want, but it’s all going to fall apart if passengers can’t figure it out. However, even if you’re not toying with algorithms, there are still other ways to make boarding smoother.
Here again, the human factor is a problem. Boarding from the tarmac might be fine for the Casablanca airport, but at someplace like Boston’s Logan Airport, we’re talking about thousands of people every hour being herded onto jetways. It would take, like, five minutes before someone got run over by an airport tug.
The problem is too many people at the airport are just not very bright. Don’t pay attention, not prepared, no control over their kids. The airport and planes are my least favourite places.
Everyone should stay home anyway. Climate change and a little something called Covid 19. 🤪
