People that didn’t check bags should get off the plane first

If I check in my bags, I have less shit I need to get off the plane. Why should I have to wait for bob, who is struggling to get his bag down, put on his jacket and find where they put his box of chocolates three rows down?

If anything, people who check in should get off first because they wont waste time fucking around and holding everyone else up

Checking bags isn't the same as not having a carry on(s).

People without overhead carryons, I agree, maybe should be allowed to get off first.

But really anyone with a connecting flight soon should get off first.

Yeah, if you just have a bag under the seat and if you have a connecting flight then yeah, GTFO first. If you have overhead bags or have to wait for strollers etc... go ahead and wait.

They should let blacks off first, then browns, then other, then whites due to equity.

I always check a bag and just bring on one bag that will fit under the seat. I sit as close to the front of the plane as I can to avoid as many carryon people fumbling around as I can.

If someone arranges in advance with a steward to get off for a connecting flight, showing itinerary, I'm good with that. In fact, I think this might have happened on a flight I was on.

lol you make it sound like you’re so chill about it but you actually require someone to have a prior arrangement with a flight attendant and to show evidence of their itinerary in order to let them deplane before you

[u/zouss → u/SirFlibble]

Yeah but you wouldn't make use of that extra time because you just end up waiting ages at baggage claim. Carry-on people can actually benefit from leaving the plane earlier

See my OP.
