I suggest for more info on Island Air's carry-on baggage policy refer to their website at:

Hope this helps you pre-plan your travels and enjoy your flight to JHM.
On my recent WP flight last week, I was able to leave my 21" roller plane side and retrieve it after exiting the plane. No issues or hassles with being forced to check it.
