What are the implications of heavier cabin baggage not being factored in on aircraft mass and balance calculations considering EZY have an 'any seat you like' policy? This is something which occured to me when I flew EZY a coupla weeks ago. With baggage in cargo holds the deck crew have a better assessment of the weight distribution which is quite an important factor on take-off and landing.... consider an abundance of heavy baggage congregating at the front of the aircraft in the overhead lockers and little down the back... how would they adjust the take off trim for an extra load they were unaware of or do the cabin crew keep an eye out for them?

Cheerz,
