There was a report in the SQ forum recently about a PPS flying in F being hassled at SFO about having a carry-on exceeding 7kg. An empty Rimowa Cabin (aluminum) weighs over 4 kg. Thank goodness UA doesn't pull any of that nonsense. Wouldn't be surprised to see WN start doing it, the direction they're heading.
