Hi all! I found a link to this Wired article in a blog. It's about attempts to eliminate airplane boarding queues. It raises at least one interesting question...
IIRC, the original article I read a couple of weeks ago said that Southwest, which uses no assigned seats, claims that it has the fastest boarding process. ...
... SW sends the hard-to-seat groups first - small children and the mobility-challenged. Then they send down three batches based on your boarding pass number. ...
In Europe there is an additional approach to fast boarding. The low fare airlines strictly limit the number, size, AND WEIGHT of carry-on luggage, so there...
I'm just about to finish reading "The Goal" by Goldratt. This is how he'd understand this process. If you've read it, it's the hike with Herbie that I'm...
(responding to Mary) ... so ... That's probably a response to certain European conditions... It used to be the case that anyone transferring at Heathrow had an...
There has been a divide in the past: - US airlines encourage people to take carry on - European discourage carry on Well, from my experience, in the last few...
Hi Paul, It's a cunning plan from Ryan air to deliberately reduce the amount of effort (or more importantly time) required to load and unload the aircraft, so...
... Imagine for a moment that we were rich. Besides flying when we wanted, instead of when the airlines wanted, surely we'd have our "people" arrange that when...
... My brother often does that, at least in the homeward direction. He's a very seasoned traveler and has other tricks as well. At places he's planning to come...
I've something to say against FedEx. When I buy something in the States, and the seller ask me to pay in advance for the item AND for the shipment by FedEx...
Hello, I have a question that maybe trivial for everyone, but for me it is not too clear. The typical situation for our projects is 2 developers and list of...
I'd go with a Scrum solution - make sure your developers know what they are building (the bigger picture) and when the work needs to be complete, then leave it...
Thanks for the link. Sometimes we have a team of 3-4 developers working on one feature in the project. Can you suggest something in this case? ... -- Yuri...
Steen, This approach looks like good thing for self-organizing team. Am I correct at this point? If it is right, what can I do to make team self-organized?...
I just blogged at length on this subject at http://blog.bradapp.net/ (as well as providing a list of web resources & famous quotations on the subject) and...
Brad, Your list of quotes on simplicity is just wonderful! Anyone looking for a few good quotes might just click through to http://bradapp.blogspot.com/ and...
I just want to throw in a few more quotes on that topic: * "Complex problems have simple, easy-to-understand wrong answers." (Grossman's Misquote of H.L....

Brad, Great blog. The discipline of Systems Engineering contains many of the simplification processes you discuss. In order to build a "simple" spacecraft it...
Hey Brad, Nice discussion you've kicked off here. Thanks! A couple of years ago I wrote about what I now call the paradox of simplicty ... paradox: people...
