well US based airlines keep adding all these extra fees and come up with many excuses
i cant remember what airline it is, i want to say american, that is thinking about adding a carry on charge (they already have a check in fee) to help with the overhead compartment problems, which i can see why since theres limited space up there and it can create issues if a passanger gets out of hand....so if they are going to charge for carry ons (not including purse/laptop) they shouldn't charge for check in bags
the only other way they can solve the carry on bags is to say each bag can be x by x (smaller then it is now) and enforce it, or have people put items under the seat in front of them....both against passenger wills
you can be sure that if one airline does it, every other airline will do it......a competition to who can screw the customers faster and/or more
with priority memberships airlines are cutting the benefits and its getting to the point where it means nothing, miles get you no where unless you want to use ten-fold the amount for a ticket
