I wonder if airplane boarding is a place make an elevator pitch analogy.

What pisses everyone off when getting the plane is that we queue at multiple
points.   Hurry up and line up so that we can check your boarding card, and
then make you wait four more times on the jetway, and then in the aisles.
It we all could just walk a lot slower, then it might feel less annoying.

(So apparently, it's the overhead bin accesses that cause most actual delays)
