Right, but now since the agents hiss at you and forbid you from boarding early (even though that's a 100% legit pre-board "need extra time" issue) by the time you get in line with the zone 1 rush, make your way down the packed jet bridge, onto the plane, left to the flight deck, introduce yourself and ask for a vest, swim upstream to get to the jet bridge door, walk out and down the stairs to stow your bag, walk back up, fight your way back into the line that no one wants to let you "cut" now even though you were like 80 ppl in front of them in the first place, then back onto the plane, another left turn to return the vest, then fight/"cut" your way back into the line, yet again, and to your seat, all to save other people overhead room for their bags to be nice...um yeah next time I'll just board and put it wherever there's space.
And yes, that was an intentional run on sentence.
Your welcome.
OR, we could do the common sense thing and let (even encourage) pilots to board early for incredibly obvious reasons. The current methodological zeitgeist is simply asinine and doesn't serve anyone's interest.
