The carry on situation is already bad as it is. Nobody follow the rules, people are carrying on huge items, stowing everything overhead and not using under the seat space. The overhead bins are already full on the flights I've been on lately.
For those who have flown budget European/American airlines that charge for all checked bags, how much worse does this make the carry on aspect?

The wife and I flew down to Orlando last November on United, who charge for every checked bag, and the situation was pretty much what you described above. Everyone was using bags that would never fit into the metal contraptions for the "designated size for carry-on luggage" so they didn't have to check a bag. Boarding and unboarding took forever because of this and the wife and I wondered why they do not enforce the carry-on rules.
Personally, I usually stow my carry on under the seat in front of me (a back-pack with laptop) which fits just fine for me and I am 6'2.
