Obviously overhead bin space is at a premium, and this is one of their solutions. It would have been nice if they just enforced the rules over the years, but they didn't seem interested in doing that.
I can get a free meal and a free checked bag on regional airline Bangkok Airways for a cheap flight that's less than an hour in duration, but if I fly across North America on a Canadian airline I have to pay through the nose for the fare and then more for baggage and a meal?

I'm really glad I don't have to travel within North America often.
