Those internal changes seem pretty sensible to me - who needs reclining seats on short haul anyway? Guess they'll fix the safety instructions to the back of the seats, and hand out sick bags on request. This could of course make turn around a little slow after bumpy sectors
Not sure about baggage handling - it takes long enough to board with hand baggage only. Presumably if you couldn't handle your own bags, at STN they'd put them in a wheelchair for you...?
