Southwest Airlines posted June 30, , \u201cYou \ud83d\udc4f won\u2019t \ud83d\udc4f get \ud83d\udc4f off \ud83d\udc4f the \ud83d\udc4f plane \ud83d\udc4f faster \ud83d\udc4f by \ud83d\udc4f standing \ud83d\udc4f up \ud83d\udc4f .001 \ud83d\udc4f seconds \ud83d\udc4f after \ud83d\udc4f the \ud83d\udc4f seatbelt \ud83d\udc4f sign \ud83d\udc4f turns \ud83d\udc4f off \ud83d\udc4f.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post exploded on Threads, sparking people on both sides of the debate to weigh in. Many commenters explained that they get up more to stretch their legs than to potentially speed up deboarding time.<\/p>\n

Others argued that standing up and being ready to enter the aisle can speed up the painful process.<\/p>\n

On the other side of the proverbial aisle, users argued that standing up quickly is rude: \u201cI don\u2019t push in front of people and try not to be in others\u2019 way. I wait for rows in front of me to get off.\u201d<\/p>\n

While many users had strong stances, some were just enjoying the discourse: \u201cY\u2019all messy! And I\u2019m here for it! \ud83d\ude06.\u201d (RELATED: \u2018Bang\u2019: Firework Collides With Plane Carrying 52 Passengers)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Diane Gottsman, an etiquette expert, told Fox Digital that \u201cmoving into the aisle and trying to push is a definite etiquette faux pas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gottsman also defended early standers: \u201cWith long flights, people are anxious to stand up and stretch their legs,\u201d adding, \u201cthey also want to get their suitcases out of the bins and be prepared to efficiently walk out of their aisle.\u201d<\/p>\n

While most of Southwest Airlines\u2019 posts have anywhere from several hundred to a few thousand likes, this post garnered more than 85,000 likes and 5,000 comments as of July 8. The company stopped using Twitter in January 2024.<\/p>\n
