Yes I wonder about the 3 hour rule here. Haven't seen such an incident but have sat on the plane for a couple of hours only to be offloaded... and then 20 minutes later "hurry hurry". Not sure if the 3 hour rule applies though if you're sitting at the gate with the door open?

Cutting in line? Is that poor manners? I'm always ready to board if possible, but with a tight connection, I just go up to the lane, which often has already boarded, and from there walk through and stand near the ticket scanner waiting for the GA's attention. When I'm in a lower lane and someone does this to me, I don't feel at all bothered, it's just the boarding order. Am I missing something?
