Man shares 'one way' airlines should be boarding planes — and many people agree

A man shared his idea of the correct order for boarding a plane, and many people agree that his approach is more efficient than the current routine.

Michael Herman, a theatre director and producer, is often seen ranting about aspects of life that he feels passionate about as an autistic man — whether it's about the US elections or generational quirks. But recently he went viral with his views on the best way to board a plane.

His wife Rachael Yoder shared his exasperated remarks via a video clip, which has since notched up over 324,000 likes, where he bemoans the nonsensical nature of current boarding protocols. Michael argues that passengers should board according to their seat row numbers, from back to front, to ease the chaos.

In a passionate plea caught on camera, Michael said: "This is how planes should be boarded. There is only one way and for some reason, no airline has figured this out yet."

"Let's say there are 40 rows on the plane. One through 40. Row 40 goes first. That's it. That's the whole thing. You can figure the rest out. Ridiculous."

"How long have planes existed? And we cannot figure out how to get people on a plane. Ridiculous. Put autistic people in charge of this s**t. It shall be done. People would be on the plane in 30 seconds if I was in charge."

Michael was quickly praised on TikTok as many people agreed with his view. One user commented: "I agree 10000%," while another added: "Been saying this for 20 years."

A third commented: "My husband literally just had this exact same rant two days ago when we were boarding our flight." Someone else penned: "In other countries, they use the front and back doors to load the plane. Takes half the time."
