If airlines actually cared about passengers...

They would offer Capri Suns to drink

They would stop purchasing planes that nose-dive into the Pacific

No company actually "cares" about customers any further than is required to make the most money possible.

Get rid of the 3 3 configuration. It sucks.

Not sure how you do this since most of the popular planes in existence are this configuration. I don't know how else you could configure them.

And make them put their carry-on on their aisle instead of wherever they choose

I’m just tired of having to sit on the ground in the airport. They should put in more chairs. Planes are planes but at least make it not so terrible to wait to board.

Oh, and Capri suns. That’s a brilliant idea.

Allow anyone in an aisle seat and nothing in overhead bin/compartment to deplane first.

1. Board from the back. It would be much faster and efficient.

Most efficient boarding process is operation is the Southwest system because it ends up somewhat self-optimizing. Someone takes too long to sit down, you just say screw it and sit where you're at. Back to front is surprisingly less efficient than a random system.

I think Mythbusters did test various boarding methods and the theoretical best is to go seat by seat back window first, moving both in toward the aisle and up. But, in a real world with families flying and wanting to board together you can't actually do that.

Start flying regional jets! Of course, those come with their own inconveniences. I do prefer 2-3 to 3-3, but I think those are going to start giving way to the 3-3's soon.

google Jason Steffen, a scientist who proposed a precise loading method that would speed up the process several years ago.
