The new allocated seat system has one big problem in that EZY let far too much hand baggage on to the aircraft, when you mix that with a bunch of geriatrics who first have difficulty lifting the bag into the locker, then remember that they need something so urgently that they have to get the bag down and so block the isle for the second time and then have to put something back in the bag so blocking the isle for the third time. And now they find they are in the wrong seat so the bag comes down for the fourth time because of course if they move from 22A to 22D the bag has to be above their head in the locker.
And this is just added to the confusion at the gate because dispite the very large notices that EZY have put to uptell peope about the allocated seating some of the numptys think that because they have an allocated seat they have speedy boarding and get pissed when they are sent to the back of the standard boarding line.
It is no wonder it takes so long to board the aircraft but I can see little more that EZY can do to inform the truly stupid about the new system as they are too thick to absorb the information.
The only thing I would recomend is much tighter linmits on the size of hand baggage enforced at check in and those who have bags that exceed the permitted size at the gate are charged double the standard hold baggage rate when it is put in the hold.
