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?

Because if you load from the back, passengers in the rear of the plane often will put their carry-on luggage in overhead bins further forward in the plane. This is so they can grab them as they walk by on the way out of the plane rather than wait for the passengers around them to get their bags. The end result of this, however, is that overhead bin space is then filled before the passengers seated further forward in economy board the plane, leaving nowhere for them to put their carry-on luggage.
