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?
Sure there would be delays to start with, but once people are 'trained' and know the consequences then they would be minimised.
