The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

eh, if youre in first class you could potentially start getting served drinks before boarding is complete. i know i have.

that said, ive often waited til the plane was mostly seated/no line before boarding even if seated in first.

The nice thing if you ever fly first class is that you'll typically get boarding priority and sometimes even your own door on larger planes so that you don't have to interact with the poors (j/k I'm a poor too, I've just booked first/business class before when I have enough points saved up so that it's worth it).

The question you should be asking instead is why would you shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane?

People are dumb. Mostly.
