Not fair to other people is exactly right.Checked bags for your BCs. Carry on your Computer & regs.
I have seen people be required to put their bags into the little "carry on sizer" thing at the gate. IF it doesn't fit, the bag is checked. I have seen this happen with most airlines, too. Don't try to take on a carryon that is too big..... it isn't fair to the other travelers who are abiding by the rules!
Sounds like the flight crew were not on top of things. They could have removed the broken door entirely, put any bags in that bin into cargo, and had the plane underway in all of 15 minutes - and deferred repair of the door until later. It's no wonder the airline industry loses money.
Mempilot good info but was wondering about your backpacks as to the size. I know your not talking about an army size pack. To bring on a carry on plus a backpack would solve several issues. My airline experiences are very limited. Thanks for the help.
Maybe - but I can only go on the info provided. If I have to guess based on complete speculation - then - well, maybe the pilot had a bad case of jock itch and didn't think he could fly a couple of hours without getting some powder and/or cream first - hence the delay.There is usually a lot more to a story that involves a 5+ hour delay over maintenance than what was posted by DA. ...My guess is, a completely ignorant gate agent passed on less than the full truth of the situation either because they were told to or they were ignorant of the real issue.
