The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

    Hard of hearing also. It’s so frustrating that text signs that list announcements are so rare.

    Captions on television/movies and games are commonplace, but in the real world, very few places care.

    Might be because I’m in a red state for a few more years due to family; blue states likely tend to be more aware of issues like ours.

    I did see written callouts of upcoming tram stops once, but I can’t recall which airport. It may have been ORD.
