Sorry to put a damper on the high-browed hate fest but.....some of us like to be up front because it saves us ~ 5 minutes each flight during the deplaning process. Multiply times my 100+ segments per year and that's about 8 hours I've saved to do something more productive than standing in a cramped metal tube.
