Boarding Rows 111 through 114!

Air travel is already a pain the butt. It starts in the terminal, where there are never enough seats to accomodate all the passengers on a flight and where it takes forever to board, particularly when overhead space is exhausted and the excess baggage has to be checked. Finally, once the plane lands, you wrestle with a couple of hundred other people trying to extract your carry on baggage and shuffle out of the plane.

How can we possibly make this worse? How about we build a behemothian plane that holds 1000 passengers?

Airbus has done just that. I personally do not look forward to showing up at the airport two hours early, then stand around waiting for the plane to board, then taking a full hour or more to board. Then, imagine taking half an hour to leave the plane. And, can you imagine baggage pickup for a flight that just brought 1000 passengers into an airport simultaneously?

I can't. I won't participate.
