Griping about airlines

Just flew back from Virginia and thought I was going to get stuck with both my carry ons (a backpack and computer case) at my feet because of the suitcases that were boarding ahead of me. Unfortunately with all the new restrictions coming about checked luggage, I think there will be more and more suitcases carried onboard.

When people lug these things onboard they slow down the boarding process because they can't seem to lift their bag over their head and into the bin. When they finally get a corner balanced on the edge of the overhead bin, half the time because they have the expandable suitcase fully expanded they have to fight to get it into the bin anyway. I swear I saw suitcases that were almost the size of my checked 23" bag going on board. They finally made people gate check them because of the space.

I wish instead of charging people $25 for a second checked bag, the airlines would charge for the stupidly overly large luggage going on the airplane!!
