Somehow that reminds me of a flight from London City to Liverpool on VLM and we landed all the suits and posh frocks got up and got their stuff out of the overhead lockers and waiting for the door to open before the aircraft came to a stop totally ignoring the cabin crew we stopped and needed a bus to take everyone back to the terminal so I took my time thanked the crew for their service took a photo of a biz jet nearby and got on the bus last but was first off and through the exit before anyone else

One I well remember was embarking on 727 at the old charter terminal at Istanbul. Two coaches were required to take the passengers to the aircraft. Loading took place through through front and rear doors. Logically you would expect to put the "front" passengers in one vehicle and the "rear" passengers in the other, but no they just mixed them and loaded through both doors!! Surprise, surprise..... chaos ensued!!

So many carriers have tried all the combinations at one time or another. It's purely a personal opinion, but I doubt if there is a perfect solution to this, human nature being what it is. I remember some years ago LH started boarding from the back first, but with that system, there's always someone who thinks they're more important than someone else, and despite having say a row 17 allocation, feel they have to be let on earlier. The gate staff know that arguing causes backlogs and they will get the blame if the flight leaves late, so they let them through.
I remember flying with one US carrier (but can't remember which one now), who tried boarding A's and F's first, which worked OK until a group of Chinese seamen appeared, who couldn't read anything other than Mandarin Chinese and couldn't understand why they weren't being allowed to board!.
I reckon there's a Nobel Physics Prize awaiting the first person to adapt Einstein's Relativity Theory to aircraft boarding...
