re: If airlines actually cared about passengers...

when the overhead space fills up, or is considered filled up, to expedite boarding, most airlines, a least the big ones, offer to check your bag for free

Right but all that does is delays leaving more really. I've been on at least a dozen flights where people in row 20 can't find a place for their bag and stand there looking around until a flight attendant comes to tell them they need to check it, at which point the bag has to go 19 rows forward.

I would support allowing people who volunteer to do so a chance to board through the back door of a plane and use stairs
