Economic considerations may limit airlines from using the quickest boarding procedures. There are reasons why first class travelers do not cringe boarding the plane first – they also pay for that privilege along with their loyalty earning them good boarding positions. Moreover, the airlines might consider some groups in the boarding order whether it is the best mean or not.

As an airline pilot, I can say that the turnaround time is not normally limited by passenger boarding or deplaning. The refueling and cargo/bag loading take longer and limit the time. My opinion is that fewer rules to follow will give customers less to worry about.

As an airline pilot let me give you my 2 cents.

Passengers don't slow down loading, cargo baggage does. The time it takes to get people's bags under the aircraft takes forever. The passenger will actually board before their bag goes through all the extra security on it's way to the plane.

Passengers: "BUT I WANNA GET ON THE PLANE NOW!" Crew: "the only difference is you're gonna sit in a plane instead of sitting in an airport. The plane leaves when it's ready, not when you are."

I think Mythbusters did a whole section on this. They pretty much found out the same thing, but realised that Airlines just won't change.
Nice rhyming limericks by the way.
