I can get my stuff out of the overhead bin in about 1 second.

I have a better idea: people should have to go through qualification testing to see how fast they can grab their backpack out of the bin and start walking down the aisle. Fast people should get special dispensation, and slow people should be required to leave last. The problem is that too many people bumble around and take forever to do a very simple task.



Most people very rarely fly. Anyone can stumble doing a simple task for the first time in years while in a stressful situation.


That's fine: those people don't get priority status and have to wait until the qualified people leave until they can go.
