With the increasingly high cost of baggage, the more passengers to carry her bag to put on a plane locker. The amount of luggage sometimes even exceed the capacity.
"Everyone is avoiding the cost of baggage to bring all things into the plane. Problem is, the longer the more they bring, not just one or two bags," said Jo-Ann Davidson, Flight attendants Association of Australia Secretary, as quoted by the News, Friday (4/20/2012).
In fact, the lockers are located on the passenger seat has a weight capacity and limited. When it exceeds the capacity, the risk is a serious accident.
"When the excess weight, can be broken lockers and stuff in it and then hit the passenger fell. This could cause serious injury to passengers," he added.
In addition to the weight capacity is limited, these lockers are also increasingly narrow with the number of passengers luggage. Sometimes, the flight attendants have bothered to set bawaaan in the locker in order to load it. In fact, sometimes the plane had to postpone the departure because the lockers are not ready to be closed due to congenital too full.
Several airlines in the United States has tried to respond to this problem by enlarging the capacity of the lockers. Aircraft manufacturer, Boeing, also is designing the aircraft with a capacity larger lockers.
Davidson says, increase the capacity can only solve this problem temporarily. "Every airline should be firm, for example, only allow passengers to carry one luggage lockers have been placed in the plane," he said.
