Currently standing in terminal and the question arises, wouldn’t it make sense to load the back first? It seems inefficient to me waiting for everyone in the rows ahead to get seated when we could do it the other way around. I’m sure there’s a reason, but am genuinely curious. Thoughts?

Boarding front to back is the most inefficient way of boarding in terms of time, but it motivates some passengers to pay more for priority boarding.
Boarding back to front is a bit faster, but not by much, because most of the time only 1 person can place their belongings and take their seat.
There is an unrealistic option: we can create an ideal queue at the gate to get the maximum number of people taking their seat at the same time. But it’s inconvenient and almost impossible.
Also there is a more manageable option that’s hard to explain in text, but there is a video that explains it and other possible ways to organize the boarding process: https://youtu.be/oAHbLRjF0vo
