I board with SKY so not going to affect me but I certainly see people getting pissed.
If it was an MX issue, I would totally understand but if it was cargo. I would not be a happy camper about my luggage getting taken away and hoping it showed up later.
When a flight is payload optimized, cargo is pulled way before bags. Bags are almost the last option (behind revenue pax), so if they're being pulled, the aircraft is very close to max takeoff weight.
