[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sick of all the carryon luggage travelers with their giant roller bags. They delay boarding, they delay deboarding and they think they have the right to move my backpack out of the bin that was there first because, why? Their bag full of crap is more important than my bag full of crap?

I would fully fully support NO roller bags on board, period. I know this will never happen so instead I support a very large fee for carryon bags and a much smaller (comparatively) fee for checked bags. [/quote]

Because the airlines disagree with you and will routinely support the passengers with larger luggage and tell people they need to move their backpacks/smaller bags underneath their seats to make way for roller bags. I’m literally on a plane right now and watching them do so. [/quote]

As I said this is an easy problem to solve, just bring a small second bag to put under your seat and then your backpack can stay up top. Works every time. “Oh, sorry I already have a bag at my feet.” [/quote]

If your backpack is so large that it won’t fit under your seat along side a purse then you’re delaying boarding/taking up just as much space as the roller bag passengers you claim to hate. You sound like a hypocrite.[/quote]

I’m not that poster. I’m the “roller bag's don’t trump backpacks” poster. We all get one slot and I’m keeping mine. If you board late it’s not my problem. [/quote]

You must not fly much. Flight attendants will frequently announce that it’s a full flight and require passengers to put backpacks/smaller bags under their seats to leave room for roller bags (and will physically remove said smaller bags from overhead/ask who they belong to).  Sure you can insist that you are entitled to a slot but enjoy getting kicked off the plane for refusing to comply with instructions.[/quote]
