It was me that mis-typed. It's edited now - but what I meant was no one is forced to carry anything on. Fees are not forcing people to bring bags that should be checked as carry ons - people don't want to pay the fee, nor do they want the fee included because it raises the price of the ticket. They want top notch service and amenities while paying a no-frills price - doesn't work that way with airlines, or any other industry. Bag fees and sizes allowed for carry on are clearly listed and if people want to travel with bags that are big enough that they need to be checked, they need to pay the appropriate fee. It's as simple as that.
