Ryanair says passengers could replace baggage handlers
As a passenger, you'd hope this one never gets off the ground. I'd say the airport operators would also have an issue with pax dragging luggage throughout the terminal, would add to the congestion. Not to mention security issues once you leave your baggage unattended.

Next they will think up a way to get the visitors waving/seeing off passengers, to use the tug to push the plane back from the gate...

Something akin to this?

Taking your checked bags through security and down to the aircraft...
Now, that would make it impossible to bring liquids and so on even in checked baggage, wouldn't it? |

There would definately be implications in allowing the practice Eric, things like shaving razors etc would also be an issue. I think Ryan Air are getting way ahead of themselves with this one.

All they need to do is place an order for a few Il-86.

Needless to say, I'll throw up all over the seats and floor, if they wish to charge me for a sick bag!

When I was at Qantaslink, this very practice was used quite successfully on the Cityflyer YSCB services. PAX just dropped their bags on a trolley at the foot of the stairs as they boarded. Upon arrival at YSCB, the bags were on a similar trolley waiting for them.
Admittedly there wasn't a lot of large bags, but I could see it working on some domestic sectors. However, they'd have to put the baggage slides back on aerobridges for it to work there. I suspect this would not be practical on larger aircraft because of the delay of getting bags from the holds to the stairs. OTP would be shot to pieces unless they increased turnaround times. One question I'd ask is how would they weigh the bags now for the LTS? I doubt it's feasible.... As for charging for sick bags - If I weren't able to wait for one to be delivered, I might just have to puke in the seat pocket, or on the floor (if I couldn't make it to the loo). See how that affects their OTP and revenue! Last edited by Hugh Jarse; 4th June 2009 at 03:34 PM. |
