[B]It was IAD and CO sued UAL over it. UAL has a hub there, hence, they controlled the checkpoints. CO added larger overhead bins, but the customers could not get the "bigger" bags through Uniteds checkpoints. I think it was a blanket case though and the templets had to come off at all airports. I believe the ruling was something to the effect that one airline could not dictate to another the size of passenger carry ons.

Back then (I think it was several years ago) Continentals arguement was that their customers wanted more space on board for carry ons, they fullfilled the request by putting in bigger bins on older planes and getting bigger bins on newer planes. They felt that if the customers wanted it and they provided it that UA should not be able to stop their customers from "partaking of a "good" enhancement". The courts agreed. To bad CO has gone the other way with enhancements!
