the thing is though that high volume usually also means higher weight. unless you're stuffing the bag with down garments, a filled 22" x 14" x 9" carry-an can weigh 20lbs or more lbs easily with when packed with typical clothes, shoes, etc.

Side note on the volume issue: I ran this past a few mid-level execs at a few USA airlines as a way to waive carry-on fees and size restrictions and they were interested.
