"Wind light and variable, cleared take off"
Ok so when you stop, which way to turn?
The wind given during the atc recording was north easterly 4/5 knots and it was stated in another post they may have turned 30degrees left. don't see an issue with the crew actions.

As for carry ons, there is a regulatory issue that is not being dealt with, from memory the bin in an A319 is 35kg and when I travel on a certain bag charging airline there is no way in hell that limit is being met in a large number of overhead lockers! And I almost always pay for a hold bag which was £42 last time I went to Moscow.

A large number SAFA checks are required when pax are on board to get a handle on this issue. A company cannot hide behind standard weights and it is the legal responsibility of the captain to accept the aircraft as safe for flight. If the bin limit is much higher then disregard.

Seems others have been concerned for some time.
