If I'm traveling without a carry on, yes, I wait until the whole line is clear before I board.

If I have a carry-on, I line up to board as soon as my zone is called. Too many times I boarded and found some assholes sitting all the way in the back have put their carry ons above my seats so they don't have to drag it, and I have to walk past my seat and be an asshole myself by putting my carry on above a seat that's not mine, wait until there's a break in boarding so I can make my way back to my seat, and wait for everyone to deboard before I can go back and grab my carry on.

Depends on if I’m trying to use the overhead bin. If I am, I want to be in quickly so I can use the one above me. Then I want to sit down, get my Steam Deck out, and disappear until the plane lands.

Plus the chairs and leg room at the gate give a much more comfortable sitting experience than in the plane.

I'm shocked everytime I fly that people want to board. Only advantage is not getting stuck in the middle of a 3-seater.

I like boarding none! I haven’t been on a plane since 1977.

the obvious next move is to go back to front.

Gotta add in some window-middle-aisle with some staggering between seats to give people room/time to stow bags

I always enjoy silently crop-dusting the first class passengers as I walk by

I have always thought this order of things as the weirdest/worst order possible and was thinking about this very thing last week in my flights. I do know other countries so it in a sane order, but the US would like to stubbornly so it in the least ideal way. Some airline should start marketing the option to board last since some people are not happy unless they pay extra to set themselves apart from us lowly plebs.
