Never even had it looked at anywhere else. Doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen I guess, but I find PG are generally very passenger friendly.
Hopefully those certifying aircraft to ensure the safety of all passengers have built-in a suitable safety margin against passengers flagrantly exceeding airline weight limits for carry-on. Who knows what might happen if every passenger took this approach ... just saying.
