But will just adding AI alone be enough? I propose we also add "blockchain", "the cloud" and "e-commerce" to ticket pricing in order to truly synergize profit dynamics.

    Wtf is the point of that? Its the same plane, isn't leaving any time sooner if I board earlier.

    Its not like a cruise ship where boarding an hour earlier means I can jump in pool while others are still getting on board.

    Because people are morons and will pay an extra few hundred just to get into the tube first.

    Or your bag will go into the overhead, and you'll be the first off the plane, especially when you have a tight connection. That 1A is getting to your next flight. That 38F is f'ed.

    That sounds like a problem with the system, it sounds as if the entire reason for all of it is to milk as much as they can.

    If you have a connecting flight you should get priority deboarding for free.

    Also using the 1A may get you on a list /s

    People don’t seem to know how to use the overhead bins or take too many carryons. I’ve had to rearrange people’s suitcases for them, or put mine several seats away, or have the flight attendant take mine. It’s really annoying.

    There’s also impatience. The later I board the more likely I am to be standing there a long time behind people futzing around taking their time to get situated regardless of how many of us are waiting.

    That's thinking outside the box for low hanging fruit of the ecosystem. I want you to free some bandwidth and take the lead on this - really move the needle. Envision co-sourcing when needed and focus on the core competency required. We can circle back on a strategic fit, rightsizing strategy to avoid negative growth. Start building consensus for a results-driven best practices matrix structure.
