Newswatcher. The trouble is that pax always want to bring bags into the cabin that are clearly to big or to heavy,aircraft have holds but these seem to be used less and less. An example being that this week i was senior crew on a evening BRU from MAN and after having boarded the passengers, i was presented by my crew with 15 large trolley bags that would not,fit in the lockers or under the seats when i presented them to the dispatcher he admitted that the hold of the A/C only had 4 checked in pieces of baggage!!! Passengers always moan when there is no locker space but they also moan if they are surrounded by luggage. ITs also a safety issue as well. IF there are any check in people or dispatchers reading this thread please remember that cabins are for people AND reasonable amounts of hand baggage and holds are for everything else!!!
