Bravo.

I was on a flight to EWR last week and a group of university professors felt they were more important than the rest and tried to force their way though the isle to get off first (just ask the FA to make an annoucement next time, non connecting passengers will usually wait) I had a good laugh when they forgot to pick up their gate checked luggage and rushed off to their connecting flight to Spain.
