Also, I have contempt for the practice of using carry-on luggage. People do what their personal motivations dictate or what they see other people doing. It is what people do, and I cannot blame them for being what they are.

As for the catching a meeting, I believe we choose our own itineraries and schedule things. If a 20 minute wait for luggage makes one miss a meeting, I could conclude it was poorly scheduled. Also, for every missed flight, or last minute switch allowed by having carry-on, there are probably multiple contrary times when a plane pushes back late because carry-on bags need to be gate checked, or boarding is a mess looking for space in overhead bins.

The very fact that, since AC has cracked down on carry-on has significantly improved OTP would suggest that carry-on is an issue for keeping schedules on time.

Regardless, I know no one here agrees with me.
