Yes, he is.Exactly. I was going to "like" your post but decided to do this instead, because there's nothing to *like* in your post. I'm sorry no one let you go. I'm glad you made your plane. I hope your husband is OK?
People will not wait for you. It doesn't matter why you have to get off of the plane.
The entire cabin complied-no one moved. Might be rare, but it does happen.
I have been on two Southwest flights where the attendant announced that several people needed to make a short connection and asked everyone to remain seated until these people were off the plane. The entire cabin complied-no one moved. Might be rare, but it does happen.
Everyone except the people with the tight connection, I assume?I have been on two Southwest flights where the attendant announced that several people needed to make a short connection and asked everyone to remain seated until these people were off the plane.

Yeah, those people exited the plane.Everyone except the people with the tight connection, I assume?
I've been on flights where they've made the same announcement. The people with a 45 minute "tight" connection decide they qualify for the early deboarding, the same as the people trying to make a 10 minute connection. When your flight is late, you think you have to hurry, and when 75% of the plane is making a connection, everyone stands up.
Get what you're saying but to me a 40-45min connection is tight. You have to consider deboarding the plane and then boarding your next flight.Everyone except the people with the tight connection, I assume?

I wasn't saying it was...nowhere in my statement did I say "oh yeah missing your boarding position is the same thing as missing your flight".Missing your boarding position is not the same as missing a flight altogether, imo.
I think you proved my point. Some people think 45 minutes is tight and some do not. When a flight is late getting in, practically ever connection will be less than 45 minutes, so everybody thinks the "let folks with tight connections get off first" applies to them. Which is why it doesn't work.I wasn't saying it was...nowhere in my statement did I say "oh yeah missing your boarding position is the same thing as missing your flight".
I was pointing out that in reality a 40-45 min connection is tight. The other person didn't think a 40-45 min connection was tight.
Well I don't quite get your statement here. You actually are contradicting yourself.I think you proved my point. Some people think 45 minutes is tight and some do not. When a flight is late getting in, practically ever connection will be less than 45 minutes, so everybody thinks the "let folks with tight connections get off first" applies to them.

So, no, 45 minutes is not a tight connection. Even at large, multi-terminal airports like DFW and ATL, you can from one gate to another in 12 minutes.
Experience. I had my million-mile status on American before I was 30.And where in the world did you get the 12 mins aspect?
