I frequently fly for my job. This past week I had to endure the longest wait for a plane to board (it was only a 737, not a big one) because not just three or four people, but at least 10 brought luggage aboard as a carry on.
The flight crew went beyond all expectation of service to acommodate these customers, including giving some passengers garbage bags so they could remove clothing reducing the bulk of their luggage.
I have a medium sized roll on, just beyond the dimensions accepted as a carry on, and I always check it because the one time I didn't they wouldn't board me with it. Some of these people had bags that were small suitcases and they tried to shove it into the overhead bins.
The airlines all have regs for the maximum carryon size permitted. Why don't they enforce them uniformly? Why do I always follow the rules like a schoolgirl afraid to get in trouble? And don't the people who break those rules realize just how rude they are by inconveniencing others?
