      Waiting 2 minutes is possible. Standing up in an airplane seat, unless you’re very short, is not. You can see that just from the picture in the post.

      That said, it’s usually a lot more like 15 minutes. But I still don’t stand up.

          Sure, but it would also be nice if airlines didn’t put space between chairs so tight that most people do not have a comfortable amount of leg room.

          And no, “tallish” people will not be the only ones facing trouble standing up. I am of average height. I cannot stand up in my seat on a plane.

              I’m only slightly taller than that and I have to bend my head way down.

              I have no idea why you’re arguing that you can comfortably stand up in an airplane seat without being very short when just looking at the picture shows that you can’t. Unless every single person standing is really tall and so is the guy bending way down while trying to stand in his seat.

              But hey, what am I going to believe, you or my own eyes?

          You could argue that standing up immediately helps unload faster. Standing up not only helps get rid of the pain of being crammed in an airline seat but I immediately get my duffle from the overhead so when it’s my turn to go, I go. Meanwhile the people who haven’t gotten up block the aisle while struggling to get their bags
