I agree with a few earlier posters. This is not a reality, at least today. So,let's not get quite so upset about it.

The negative response would be so dramatic when or if every announced, that it would not happen.

As to the poll, I agree. I doubt most of those people fly often, especially for business. And, I would bet many of them made up their own definition of what "carry on" is and were actually referring to the heavy duty carry ons, maybe even roll ons.
