Hence my post not so long ago about the inconsiderate people who come on board the plane with 2 -3 pieces of hand luggage and use other passengers space . This is not only the height of arrogance but dangerous . If you consider the additional weight that is being carried anyone would summise it is a dangerous practise . example if you had 160 people on board each allowed 7kgs equals 1120kgs now if saym 25% of those passangers decide to take extra say another 7kgs thats another 280kgs . So instead of the ALOTTED weight the aircraft is carrying an extra 280kgs . You could go on and on about this issue but let's face it you are always going to get the peolple who quite frankly don't give a toss .
