It will be cold comfort to those stuck in the departure lounge, but researchers have finally worked out the fastest way to board a plane.
Rather than the traditional back to front approach, airlines should put passengers by the window in an alternating pattern.
They should then be followed by people sitting in the middle seat, and finally the aisle.
By doing this, everyone would get on the plane twice as fast as the conventional method, researchers said.

Even though I know this will upset Gob I'm waiting on a method that just outright kills the old and incompetent.

US Airways uses a method something like this to board passengers. I didn't find it any faster, if indeed it wasn't worse. The primary problem with airplane boarding is passengers having problems finding space for their carry on baggage, trying to make their way back and forth through the aisle to find a space in the overhead compartments. If anything this method would exacerbate that problem in real world use.
