Most of the time hand luggage removed from the cabin during boarding does not make the flight and travels on a subsequent service - further delaying the customer. Eight excess cabin bags recently caused an 18 minute delay.
At what point does it come down to customers to obey limits and regulations and to consider people other than themselves?

Is it at the discretion of the boarding Flight Attendants as to what hand luggage is allowed onto the aircraft? Qantas seems to be the only airline that has Flight Attendants run the boarding from the gate. Virgin seems to only use ground staff, Jetstar I've never noticed to be honest.
