Air travel used to be enjoyable but now it's become an endurance. Less leg room between seats and now this stupid fee that will only lead to more people doing the carry on thing. Nothing worse than watching someone try to stuff thier oversized bag in the over head bin and having the flight attendant arguing with said passenger to check thier bag.
Everyone bringing on carry on increases the time an airline spends loading and unloading. It's stand up and wait as everyone waits for the other passenger to get his bag from the overhead bin. God forbid that bag opens up with clothes landing everywhere because the doofus forget to zip the bag shut when removing an item in flight.
If airlines eliminated all carry on except for jackets, computers, Ipads etc, the airline could improve it's on time arrival at the next destination.
