In the meantime, Austrian airlines has decided to let the whole plane wait in a waiting area designed for turboprop aircrafts, creating confusion and an instant stock exchange for chairs. There are seats being traded, held and shorted between families, couples and singles. The first-in-line people – you know the ones always, treating queues as a sport – a sport where the price is stuff like:
- Sitting next to a power outlet.
- Getting the best comfort and view while waiting.
- Getting the most space for their carry-on-crap in the overhead compartments.
- All of the above.
They are all happy, confident, once again having shown the world that their strategy might not be as stressless, but it gives the best benefits.
Oh, we are actually boarding. Okey dokey.
