Staff at airports including Glasgow get bonuses for spotting oversized bags

An email shows that staff at seven UK airports are being offered bonuses to spot oversized easyJet bags, but some workers have raised concerns over the "risky" scheme

Quite right.

I get fed up with people filling the cabin with bags they should have checked in.

We were sat in Amsterdam waiting for our connecting flight, a young lady sat across from us with a huge cabin suitcase, she opened it and it contained pair of shoes, which she changed for the flip flops she was wearing

No body disagrees with that but there is plenty of evidence that they are charging and attempting to charge people for properly sized bags.

Not sure if they have always gotten a bonus but at M/cr last year I saw them stop and charge several people at the gate when their cases would not fit in the sizer.

She's probably just completed her drug trafficking, and was going back to pick up some more.

Can you blame her?
Many trips i've taken to that fine old city, but the first time was a revelation: a quiet toke in peace with a cuppa strong coffee in the Spring sunshine. A police station was a hundred yards down the road and they couldn't give a hoot. Only difference between then and now is you have to show ID.

Given I've not been on a plane since the late 80s, I don't think this thread is for me. And when I see the clips of mayhem on board flights, usually due to people being drunk, I feel relatively confident I'll never be on a plane again.

My mate was stopped on an outward journey to Spain...

They told him that the bag was much too big and heavy....

So he had to leave his mother in law behind!!

They deny the charges?
Should be mandatory prison sentence. Plus extra time for being in a security sensitive location and extra time for attacking armed police.

I’ve not been following it.

Did it start in a coffee shop and then the police got involved? I’ll have a proper look later
