That is why you have baggage fees, bigger seat fees and no free food
in coach.

The baggage fee has to be one of the worst things to ever happen to air travel. It encourages people to carry on larger bags instead of checking them, which slows the boarding process while the bags get crammed into the overhead. And of course no one puts their second bag under the seat, as they want to conserve the tiny bit of leg room the have.

Absolutely! It was bad enough when people were punished by the time it
took to check and get baggage, now it's worse, and the airlines are
doing a crappy job of checking carry on size.
