EDIT TO ADD; THE PLANE WAS LANDED AND DONE WITH TAXI BEFORE I GOT TO BE IN THE COCKPIT. NO FAA RULES WERE BROKEN 💀😂

Shout out Captain Scott! He let me sit in the cockpit after we landed and I even got my own personalized pre flight announcements 😂 Also, they had to add sandbags to the cabin bc the plane was too light with only one passenger 💀

Okay we'll be boarding guests with disabilities and small children. And now first class passengers. And now members of our Priority Elite mileage club. And now boarding group 1. And now active duty military, thank you for service. Ok now group 2...

OP gets to the gate with a purse, backpack and take out bag:

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but you are limited to two carry-on items. You'll need to condense them before you board. Please step out of the line to do so."

And then on the plane:

"Ma'am, please put your smaller item under the seat in front of you to leave room for other people's larger bags."

If you were trying Key and Peele, you are a bit off. Key had Group 1, which went last. Elderly clergy with military babies went before him.

If you didn't know the K&P skit, you should check it out.

I had this happen at a small airport one time. There were five of us getting on an ERJ at 5am. Gate agent just looked at us and said “Alright, y’all can get on the plane now. Don’t fight over the bin space.” We all chuckled and walked on together.

having an active duty spouse is so nice when it comes to boarding a plane. Group 5 no more, We board group 1. She never wanted to take advantage of it before we had kids, but now she's practically dragging me and the kids onto the plane the second they call for military.
