Carry-on Baggage
OK, I can understand the flight attendants' concern about
over stuffing the overhead bins, and I might even understand the
sizing restrictions, arbitrary as they are. I don't understand
the continued refusal of the airlines to take full
responsibility for the safety of our checked baggage.
I'm an avid photographer, and often take a lot of equipment with me on
trips. If they're going to make me check $15,000 worth of
equipment, they should be forced to ensure it gets there
safely. As it stands now, if they lose the whole lot, they are
only liable for an amount which is approximately equal to the
cost of the film I bring along.
It's the least the airlines could do for us, if we have to make these
concessions to baggage
size.
