At least I was smart enough to hang back from the scrum - when you're going to 1A who cares if you're first on the plane?
I think the same point is relevant wherever you're sat on a longhaul. Nowhere will you struggle for overhead luggage space so I just don't understand the desire to get onboard quickly to spend even longer in your seat.
Short-haul maybe, given space pressure but longhaul I aim to be amongst last handful aboard.
