If more idiots insist on bringing the kitchen sink as carry on instead of checking it and as soon as the Airlines discover that their turnover expectations are not being met because instead of checking thier bags and PAYING for them pax are bringing more carry on - guess what - they are going to inforce the size of carry on again. That may happen faster if we see an increase of accidents with overhead storage or if we see fights for overhead space.
Seeing just how stupid and selfcentered many folks are that will probably be sooner than later.
