A plane passenger has issued a brilliant rant on how people should board a plane and many are in agreement.

The wife of Michael Herman, a theatre director who posts videos of her 'autistic husband' on social media, has many viewers completely agreeing with his latest opinion on air travel.

Taking to TikTok last week, Rachael Yoder (@rachyodes) shared a clip of Michael's view on 'how planes should be boarded'.

While sitting in a passenger seat next to Michael, he declared: "There's only one way, and for some reason no airline has figured this out yet.

"Let's say there are 40 rows on the plane, one through 40, right?

"Row f**king 40 goes first.

"That's the whole thing you can figure the rest out.

"Ridiculous how long of planes existed and we cannot figure out how to get people on a plane.

"Ridiculous, put autistic people in charge of this s**t.

"This s**t will be done, people be on the plane in 30 seconds if I was in charge."

Many in the comments seemed to agree with Michael, as one person said: "I've ALWAYS wondered why it would this way. Your husband's way makes so much sense."

A second added: "My husband literally just had this exact same rant two days ago when we were boarding our flight."

While a third penned: "100% agree with him. I hate getting into a plane waiting to get to my seat as poorly on front of me get seated. Just start at the back going forward."

However, some explained why airlines tend to opt for a random seating system.

A fourth person claimed: "Former load master here… If the plane gets to tail heavy, it’ll do a wheelie. Only takes about 3000lbs on some planes. On our cargo planes we had to ADD weight to the nose or they tip while empty."



"It’s a great idea on paper but it’s a weight issue. If you board the back the plane can tip. It’s weights and balances. The other option is outside in but then no aisle people get carry on," someone else insisted.

Another added: "It’s due to managing weight and balance of the plane. Too much tail weight too soon and the plane tips.

"THAT'S why they have been doing it for so long. It’s not that they’re not smarter than you."

Meanwhile, others thought that 'window seats first, then centre seats, then aisle seats' should be the order. This I can get behind.
