Apparently it’s the airlines fault people grab carryons when executing a ground evac. A new briefing to the public is what’s needed.

We’ve had this discussion before. ZERO people are listening to that brief. I don’t care what’s in it. Lock the over head bins from brake release until cruise and then vice versa. It’s the only way to be sure.

The FAA is asking airlines to review their emergency evacuation procedures after passengers took carry-on items during recent evacuations, slowing exits and risking lives.

I LOVE the locking bins idea.

We should harness Reddit technology and be able to vote pax into the bins.

What if we gave the flight attendants tasers and they gave some “encouragement” to leave bags at the door

How about cattle prods for folks that stand up before the chocks are in?

Please no. I am just standing to try and get some blood flow back into my legs since my knees have been jammed up into the seat in front of me for the last several hours because airlines don’t believe anyone is taller than 5’5

When I was deadheading, I saw a guy stand up right after touch down. I don’t even think the thrust reversers were stowed. I wasn’t even mad. I was impressed.

Okay, fair.

Until a child is placed in the overhead, again.

I’ve been on plenty of flights where that would have been an acceptable solution

Would you put your kid in the overhead? Or is your kid "special"?

Locking overhead bins is another solution. Given the size of some of these bags, people were clearly going into the bins.

Yep I've advocated that for years, Locking overhead bins controlled by the FA's. Locked during taxi T/O and landing phase just like the Seat belt sign. Oh wait, better yet... the overhead bins locks automatically when the seat belt sign is illuminated.

It would have to be automatic. FAs notvjacung time to lock business class suite doors has kept a few business class cabins unusable (or at least the doors unusable) recently.

Sounds sexy but I wouldn’t be shocked to have an accident where a bunch of pax succumb to smoke inhalation or burn due to the aisle being blocked by people trying to retrieve their belongings.

Exactly this. People on an airplane aren’t going to just try the bin and say “oh snap, it’s locked! I better evacuate.” No. They are going to dick around with it trying to get it open. Maybe not forever but for a bit. Multiply that bit by close to 200 and we have a problem.

Nah. I think the solution is going to be a slow burn solution that’s going to take some time and some failure. Simply start fining people heavily that take their bags down a slide.
