I'm always amazed when I travel through an airport like Burbank, or San Jose's old terminal C, where you (still) board jets using stairs. It's really remarkable how fast an airplane clears out when you can exit either from the front or the rear. It wouldn't seem like it would make that much of a difference -- people still have to stand up, put their shoes on, wait to reach the overhead bins, etc., but it really, really does. In a situation like this, if you have 2 doors active at the same time, with two aisles available, dunno, it'd be slow but not outrageously slow. If they're only using one jetway, though...ugh...forget it! Presumably they will be using gates that have dual jetways?
