Very simple way to prevent pilots from having to stay during any deplaning today or for the future.

CALL a cab or Uber black. If you have to deplane, especially deplane an international flight, you’ll be over 30 minutes from block in. Call a ride and expense it. I wish pilots, CAs and FOs, did this every time. I’m willing to bet a few thousand expense reports for transportation fees from either poor hotel shuttles and having to stay after would change the policy.

They only care about money. It’s a contractual right and pilots still don’t use it, wait on the curb for 45 minutes in IAH for the short stay van, after clearing international 30 minutes prior. Why?
