Weird. I'm elite on AC, I've never been checked. I only travel with carry on; typically a clothes backpack and a hard case the size of a normal carry on. Definitely bending the rules.
Gate checking is still totally ok. All the US airlines I have been on do it as well. My carry on in this case (flight to SD) probably would have been ok, but I wanted to see if WJ had a problem with the luggage. No problem at all.
