I literally chill til the very end of boarding before I get on. Like you said, my seat is assigned, it ain't changing, and I'm packed light enough to put my backpack under the seat in front of me. Sometimes people don't show up n I sneak into a better seat ๐คซ. I've only ever been called out for that on Frontier, they know the hustle apparently. I've never bothered trying 1st class or anything, but I've gotten some middle seats to transform into aisles that way.

eh, if youre in first class you could potentially start getting served drinks before boarding is complete. i know i have.
that said, ive often waited til the plane was mostly seated/no line before boarding even if seated in first.
The nice thing if you ever fly first class is that you'll typically get boarding priority and sometimes even your own door on larger planes so that you don't have to interact with the poors (j/k I'm a poor too, I've just booked first/business class before when I have enough points saved up so that it's worth it).
The question you should be asking instead is why would you shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane?
