The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

You can stand while the plane is flying?

Yes but that’s not ideal for a nervous flyer, or being in a window seat. It’s easier to just stand at the airport.
