And then they get pi**ed at us for not having enough room to stow the baggage in the cabin!
The LoCo airline's principal marketing thrust is - get your flights for 99p. Now we all know that this conceals the truth about how much we actually pay, and we're aware that we're going to get stuffed with all the add-ons the company can get away with. So we're going to take advantage of all the t&c's which are offered.
If this means that the cabin crew are going to be inconvenienced by this, then tough. We've bought your product on your terms. That's not greed - it's market forces and the PAX's response to them. Live with it.
