I love this. I fly a decent amount in Canada/USA on economy and almost every single time there is a massive line of gate humpers who haven't been called to board and are trying to get their oversized luggage into the overhead bins.

My greatest hope for airlines is someone starts a company focused on banning people. Bag too big for carry on? Banned. Wearing too much perfume? Banned. Got in line before your group was called. Guess what. Yeah. Banned.

I feel the last paragraph is a little harsh especially on those that are wearing perfume because they know they have bad body odor for example, additionally people that fly for the first time might have no clue when the right time to get in line is, especially when you don't have a zone or seat assigned. With your line of thinking the parents with a crying baby are next to be banned, not that I don't understand your frustrations but my advice would be to assume good faith even where it is unlikely and maybe it will be less frustrating.

Is that why people crowd the gate three boarding groups too soon? It's super annoying. I don't want to cut people in line, but it's hard to tell whose turn it is when everyone is crushed up at the front.

That's why I started doing it. I used to wait until the end to board but then one time I had a hard time finding a spot for my bag and now I try to board as early as possible
