It has been shown, time and again, that back-to-front boarding schemes are inefficient and lead to a lot of full stop stows which in turn leads to delays in the boarding process and causes disadvantages for better boarding remotes especially pull-aways and parallels.

You forgot to factor in the limited overhead storage that the rear passengers use in the front as they pass by. Thereby making front passengers look for space further in and then have to swim back upstream against the traffic flow to get to their seat.

The second sentence of this content: “You can’t just throw open the gates.” proceeds to explain that it’s more efficient to throw open the gates
