    That weight limit is how much an employee can lift by themselves in America(50 pounds). If it’s over they have to team lift.

      Yeah, that’s why I watch the bag handlers sling my bags with heavy tags on to the conveyor belt with one arm…

        So it’s doesn’t fall out and crush you in the head during turbulence. It’s held up there by a shitty little latch.

        Sometimes the passenger can’t lift it for whatever reason, in which case the flight attendants would have to do it.

          Then they should put a barbell with weights and you are allowed to bring as many kgs as you can lift with the barbell.
