Does the superjet have a fuel dump capability? A lot of smaller types don't as there max landing weight isn't too far off the MTOW

I wonder if something extreme like severe restrictions on permissible amounts of hand luggage, or even locking the bins shut during take-off and landing may be necessary...
Perhaps we've gone too far with the charging for hold luggage and start to encourage the use of hold luggage again to improve on board safety.
It's universal on low-cost airlines to see the people near the back of the queue having their bags tagged for removal, for which they don't charge but obviously you have to wait at the other end to get it back. Except on Ryanair since they changed their policy last autumn, when priority boarding became a de facto charge for taking a bigger bag.The amount of carry-on luggage is becoming an issue. I remember 30 years ago, people just carried hold-alls or ruck sacks on planes. Now they seem to carry those in addition to proper (if not small) suitcases. So much that I've been on recent flights where the overhead lockers were literally full to capacity of suitcases and people were being told to put hold alls and ruck sacks under the seat in front of you. Perhaps we've gone too far with the charging for hold luggage and start to encourage the use of hold luggage again to improve on board safety.
But I don't think the size of the bag as such is the safety issue - taking even a small under-seat bag in an emergency endangers the person concerned and others.
