2019-03-08 21:11:15 +0000 UTCMy apologies if I missed this in the video, but what music did you use? It sounds a lot like the Wii Mii channel music.

2019-02-07 06:30:29 +0000 UTCGrey's most mesmerizing video yet. Also idea! What if Steffen Perfect was utilized by class system? So front gets to all go first, but they have to do it that way. After they're done, everyone else does it for the back. It would at least be slightly better.

2019-02-07 06:29:44 +0000 UTCI like it.

2019-02-06 22:19:49 +0000 UTCwasn't it like pacman or something from that old-school video game era?

2019-02-05 11:34:03 +0000 UTCdude I've always appreciated how well-constructed your content is from a pedagogical angle, and I like your voice, both in terms of the actual sound and how you choose your words in your voice-overs - but you have really been stepping up your game in terms of motion graphics / infographics, and the like theatrical part of your humor? like when you ducked out of discussing native american reservations in your video about US government territory, or with all the alliteration in this one - these aren't just quick interjected bits, like, they're a little more developed and integrated and *comitted to* even? I dunno, what that 'betterness' is exactly, but your work is really just getting better and better, and I appreciate it.

2019-02-05 05:52:05 +0000 UTCSome factors to consider that absolutely make this untenable for both airlines and passengers: 1) That that trained, organized team frequently damages the heck out of even hard-sided luggage, let alone potentially sensitive contents therein. 2) There is an ever growing list of Lithium Ion containing devices that aren't allowed in below-deck stowage (because pressure and temperature differences sometime cause them to explode... but apparently it's still safe for your pet... somehow) so most people who fly for business have at least two devices (laptop and cellphone) and possibly more (tablet, second laptop, second cell phone, e-cigarette, portable battery packs, etc.) that are actually illegal per FAA regulation to stow below deck. 3) Again due to hostile environments downstairs, specialized sensor equipment that can be broken, misadjusted, or otherwise damaged by the conditions are also not below-decks capable. 4) Checked luggage gets lost or misdirected relatively often. Anecdotally, I take about 38 flights per year, of which 6 to 8 require checked baggage due to the length of travel. Last year, of the 8 flights in which I had checked bags, in 3 of those cases my bags were delayed. In one case, it was on the home-bound flight, and the delay was inconvenient but not deleterious. But in the outbound flights, had I packed anything that I needed within the next 48 hours, I would have been up a proverbial creek, since it took a day and a half in both cases to get my luggage, which had been delayed in a connecting airport in one case, and had been lost (airlines prefer the term "misdirected") in another and somehow ended up flying to a different continent and back before being routed to me. As a result, all sensitive and critical items, medications, special needs items (such as diabetes testing supplies, CPAP machines, etc.) and enough clothes to make due for 48 hours after landing simply MUST be brought in a way guaranteed to make it with you... i.e. you have to carry it yourself aboard the aircraft. 5) Imagine that you now roughly double the amount of baggage needing to be processed. That "trained, organized team" that already takes 10+ minutes to get the first bags off the plane and into the sorting facility is now going to have double the load. Apart from the added stress likely increasing either headcount or damage rate. (Remember, in almost all operations, you get your pick of cheap, fast, and good; you *might* get 2/3, but frequently have to settle for only one of these.) This will take an already tedious baggage claim experience (for most travelers, many of whom are already getting late for business meetings because the airlines can't seem to manage to keep on schedule) and convert it into an even longer random-number draw. 5a) By the way... most airlines offer FREE gate-checks for certain boarding groups that they suspect will not have sufficient overhead space. This is frequently ignored, even by travelers without these reasons... because simply NO ONE wants to wait for their bags or let them out of their sphere of control. In part, I believe this is due to the ridiculously easy to pick TSA locks, and the fact that they ensure that there is virtually no security whatsoever provided by any locking mechanism. Older luggage locks could provide real deterrence for casual theft, but with every lock now keyed with one of nine known key patterns . . . I personally don't pack anything with resale value in a bag that others will be in charge of. Basically, this solution is unlikely to work. Because humans.

2019-02-05 03:51:35 +0000 UTCThis. So badly this. The core problem is loading the bags, which is inexcusable when there is a trained, organized team ready to load the bags in a quick, orderly manner.

2019-02-05 02:50:20 +0000 UTCThis video is so fantastic. So funny & such a great script! Maybe it's just because I'm a robot like Grey and get frustrated by humans, but this video was an absolute delight. Grey, it's so good!

2019-02-05 02:50:01 +0000 UTCI feel like you missed the actual fastest possible way to get people on the plane: invert the baggage fees. Make checked bags free and charge a boatload to carry anything on. If people mostly don't have anything to put in the overhead bins, boarding will be way way faster! The problem is all the people trying to save $30 and carrying a bag they can barely lift that doesn't fit in the bin without a bunch of fiddling around. It is terrible. I feel like charging baggage fees is what got us into this mess, but it could be what gets us out of it too.

2019-02-05 00:48:45 +0000 UTCBut doesn't Steffen Modified still require people to line up in a specific order within their own group? Otherwise you're likely to get full stop stows again. btw: Nice touch on the Casey Neistat Smiley!

2019-02-04 23:20:01 +0000 UTCThe music is so good! What is the song a reference too? It sounds like a game I've played before at some point.. is there any chance of a downloadable version of the song?

2019-02-04 21:01:55 +0000 UTCAs I commented you YouTube ... Treat people like cargo. As people check-in for boarding, they enter their own pod, luggage and all (single, double, family size, etc). Pods are then transported by rail system to the gate staging area. When the plane arrives, people pods are loaded, with priority given to extraction order, so that connecting flights are easiest to do pod transfers on.

2019-02-04 20:05:42 +0000 UTCThe big advantage of boarding earlier (at least in the US) is that there will definitely be a space to put your carry-on, and it won't have to be checked, to be inaccessible until it is (one hopes) returned at the end of your journey. The modified Steffen Perfect method would work as long as fancy people selecting their seats know what order they will board in. With the current system, proximity to the front of the plane is roughly equivalent to boarding order, but those two orderings could be unlinked, with I'm sure only a little gnashing of teeth.

2019-02-04 19:20:05 +0000 UTCAll Airlines in know (Europe) use class based boarding where the plebs board randomly

2019-02-04 18:45:39 +0000 UTCWonderful video and extra. I’m always wondering why everyone must jump into the aisle when de-boarding and we can’t simply let everyone already standing leave in one continuous column before we refill the aisle and repeat. I ‘solve’ this by paying extra for an aisle seat near the front, doing exactly what the airline wants :-(
