This means, airlines need to invest in friggin' bigger bins, so more carry on bags can be accommodated, if power outlets are going to be installed, it should be nose to tail fleet wide, not a half @$$ed effort where it's on some planes, and only in premium cabins on some other planes.
Lounges, need to simply have consistent and logical admit policies that are highly predictable and not based on the mood of each individual agent.
The whole experience just needs to be more consistent and predictable, that would solve about 90% of the problems that cause air rage.
Interesting that you start by saying you want the airlines to follow their rules then start listing the rules you don't like.
Airlines don't want you to carry on more luggage. Airlines want to give premium passengers better service (like power outlets). Airlines have specific rules about who gets in and as long as you meet them, you get in.
Most air rage I have seen involves alcohol, perceived self importance, or (usually) both.
