Exactly , for too long , people have conveniently increased the amount they bring onboard hoping the ground staff and cabin crew dont notice...
Its bl**dy dangerous, and im glad to see at last the issue is being addressed.
An average A320 for example has room for say 80 (SMALL) wheelies and an average amount of SMALL items that will fit under the seat in front...
More often than not, you get twice that coming on , plus laptop bags,suit carriers,rucksacks,shopping,handbags and large overcoats and jackets too - its impossible to get it all on,and many lockers are dangerously crammed.
Of course,many pilots/dispatchers refuse to take a delay in order to place these items in the hold - its anybodys guess where they end up then.
Lets hope this starts a new era of reasonable items being brought on, respect for other people onboard, and flights being able to leave on time rather than sort out mountains of excess handbaggage................
