"Push" is actually an overstatement. It fit with a slight nudge. Standard TravelPro 21". Basically this is pure BS. GA was making all this up to get the plane out on-time or even early, but it was unwarranted. Basically making all standard 21" rollers gate checked starting in group 3 on a non-full flight. Totally complaint bag, not overstuffed. And then the threat to deny boarding.
