You want to board faster? Try making overhead space more expensive than checked luggage.

Please no. Please. I take 3 week trips with nothing but a rollaboard for a reason - when I arrive at my destination, I prefer to have my belongings arrive with me 100% of the time. Not 98%. 100. I also like being able to schedule meetings for immediately after I land knowing that I won't have to wait for my bag.
