So upon touchdown, taxing up, and finally hearing the seatbelt ding, I do what I naturally do as a delta flyer, I get up and start to unload the OB, but much to my astonishment, no one else in economy got up- literally no one. I actually thought I was doing something wrong. So I slowly sat back down and just watched other passengers just sit wait. Now the first class cabin was of course all standing up and all had grabbed their bags down from the bins and once the last 1st-class passenger deplaned, the economy comfort (or what ever AA calls it) got up and grabbed their bags, and so on, until finally it was my turn.

I couldn't believe how civilized these AA passengers were. I hadn't flown AA in a couple years and of course living in southeast Michigan, Delta is where my loyalty lies, but man, it was something I will remember for a while.

my 2 cents - My perfect airline would consists of having United's boarding process, delta's planes, AA deplaning process (the one I witnessed), and Alaska Air point redemption haha - just a random thought that occurred
