The north policy, from what I understand, is seldom used. For example, I've used it only twice in the 6 to 7 years that it's been effect.
Bottom like, why can't someone (jumpseat committee?) at DALPA demonstrate that it's used too much and unsellable or that it's what most of us think.........a stress reliever that's seldom used.

Plus why do we carry around extra weight, for the chance there might be last minute bags...when you multiply that weight times hundreds of flights per day...lot of lost revenue and excess fuel carried.
