The carry-on size box doesn't determine if your bag will fit; it determines whether it meets the airline's carry-on size policy, and the airline is required to make a policy and enforce it by the FAA.
I challenged a GA once about my bag being too big. The GA told me that there were always federal agents watching them to make sure they enforce carry-on size. I said - come on - that's a DL policy - not a federal policy. She told me that it's FEDERAL policy to enfore the carry-on size that DL sets! I have seen this reported here, too! Believe me - I was SHOCKED!
We all just take it for granted!
