Can anyone explain to me why - when seats have already been allocated - people rush to be at the front of the queue to board a plane? All that happens is that you get to your seat in time for dozens of people to be milling around you, looking for their seats, or leaning over you, looking for space in an overhead locker.
I fly around 18-24 hours a week at the moment, and I always get to the front of the queue... the reason is that a number of times when I used to agree with you I got stuck with no overhead luggage room & had to sit for hours at end with my bags underneath the chair infront of me - a royal pain in the ass.
Never had a serious incident with the flying I do... some bad turbulence but that's it
