I'm waiting anxiously for BA to introduce the new overhead lockers (the ones below should be coming on the newer A320 neos and I'd hope will be retrofitted too). But it must come with medieval punishments to whoever put his/her wheelie bag not sideways as per the photo. I want the offenders thrown with a trebuchet into Staines reservoir, tarred and feathered and then paraded through T5 on a donkey, having to wait for the Omniserv wheelchair every time they land for the next year...

To a point, I think they are. On your next FR flight compare the amount of Tumi, Rowena, etc luggage to your next BA flight. The number is quite remarkable once you notice. My take on this is that the occasional leisure traveller, looking for the lowest fare would not, typically, spend £400+ on carry-on luggage. Either because of lack of use, lack of disposable income and an assessment that it does not offer them good value.

It would appear Easyjet have a solution to the problem

If BA does go down the same route as easyJet, I wonder if the Marketing department will come up with better than this:
So grateful for the certainty!
This is to help improve punctuality and give customers certainty of what they will have with them on board.
