I think he means call out the passengers in the back to board first.

And I agree.

Airlines used to do this. Problem is when they started charging for checking a bag people all want to get on first to make sure they get an overhead spot. No one wants to check a bag for $25

People in the back of the plane are those without status. People with status believe they should get overhead space.

Solution is you "rent" an overhead space for the flight then no one else can take it. Measure the bag and that's the space you get. That's a crapton of work though
