i am late on this but i was just reading that this morning.
When i fly, I check everything except a book and my ipod. i dont see the stupid need to lug around all my stuff just so i can get out of the airport 20 minutes faster. Carry-On bags piss me off to no end. why dont they charge for those? put all the shit under the plane!
So now no one is going to check bags and the overhead compartments will now be so full, that the last 30 ppl on board wont have room for their bag at all!! not to mention the now 45 minutes it will take you to get off the plane.
I'll be checking my bag still, as now it will be only one on the carousel and it will be riding around waiting for me when i get there!
