Boarding group nine

0:00 Airlines have invented a caste system and we

0:02 all accept it without complaint.

0:04 There is priority boarding,

0:06 then premium boarding,

0:08 then group one through eight,

0:10 which somehow contains the entire aircraft.

0:12 The moment the first announcement happens,

0:15 everybody stands up.

0:17 Not the people being called.

0:19 Everybody.

0:20 Group nine,

0:21 whose turn will come in about twenty minutes,

0:23 forms a dense,

0:24 hopeful crowd directly in front of the gate,

0:27 blocking the people who are actually allowed

0:29 to board.

0:30 And the reward for winning this contest is

0:32 what,

0:33 exactly?

0:34 You sit in a metal tube fifteen minutes

0:37 earlier.

0:37 Yet I stand up too.

0:39 Every single time.
