re: Why do people rush to be first to board a plane?

I've been on the train there and felt like this:

A train comes every minute... there is no reason for people to ever freak out about getting on or off the plane train in Atlanta.

Its not Delta alone. Its just the Atlanta people that are employed. They are lazy as shite and when I've had missed connections or similar issues, they've been incompetent as can be.

I'm not saying its a bad airport as far as arriving to your gate and destination, etc. Its the environment in the airport that I find disgusting.

Airport employees are terrible everywhere.

When you are travelling a lot, all you really want is consistency and ATL is about as consistent as it gets with delays and what you can expect while there. I was stranded for 5.5 hours at MSY last week and would have given my left leg to be able to switch it with ATL (bars,restaurants etc). The only thing ATL is missing is a centurion lounge.

If you know what you want/need it's much easier. And they are usually hard to work with because the customer is being a prick. I've watched them tell a guy "too bad" because he was yelling at them, then I went up right after and politely asked to get on the flight...done in 30 seconds.
