I'm usually carrying about $50k+ of film equipment that is not only fragile and I need to keep out of baggage handlers hands but also my entire career in one box. If it goes missing for a day or two I can put a production very behind schedule costing them big bucks, and if never comes back it could be disastrous for my livelihood.

Unfortunately for every one of you, there are 20 other cheapskates who are only carrying their clothes and crap.
But I do agree that there should be a way to carry oversized sensitive items with you on board (maybe a couple bins dedicated for this) that come with a premium cost. Checking items at the gate (i.e. like they do with strollers) is probably the next best option.
