Stupid, heavy cabin bags again
Here are the stupid, heavy cabin bags again. How many times must we remind the companies that they should NOT allow the pax to bring those stupid, heavy cabin bags onboard. The gate agents MUST stop them at the jet way, and NOT allow them onboard. Who would want to be mindlessly brained from behind by a heavy carry on dropped by an idiot? A child could be seriously injured by those stupid bags. Maybe the companies should just remove the big overhead compartments and forbid all the carry on bags.
Whilst I certainly do not condone passengers taking on board bags they cannot lift, it must be recognised as the own-goal it is. If airlines were liable for damage contents, and reintroduced higher limits it would not be necessary for passengers to transport heavy and fragile items in the cabin.
