Gggrrrrr...... Cabin baggage!!! I hate it! And I applaud JQ et al for NOW trying to police it, BUT..... It is of their own making! The LCC's were the one who started to charge for checking in a bag, and the pax wished up to it. The pax then take advantage of it, and the airline gets upset. Now the pax get upset that the airline is belatedly enforcing the rules.
So.... Where was CASA in all of this? Surely they have seen pax and their carry on bags. I am sure that they have seen the airlines abuse the morality of travel...... But why haven't CASA actually stepped in prior to this, as either a safety issue, or compliance with AoC conditions?( should there actually be any)
