But I, for one, would love to see people have to pay for bringing huge carry-ons into the plane.

It takes forever to get on/off a plane because people are trying to find a place to stuff all their belongings into the limited space in the cabin. And it can't be safe to have all that cargo in with the passengers if there is some sort of emergency.

Of course passengers shouldn't be charged for ONE carry-on that fits under the seat, but if you're going to commandeer all the space in the overhead bins and the space under your seat, you should have to pay for it. Maybe they can lower the checked-bag fees and make up for it with excess carry-on fees.
