Long story short<\/a>: United Airlines is cracking down on people who abuse the lax enforcement of carry-on belongings, and will eventually begin sending people back to the ticket counter to check excessive luggage for a fee.<\/span><\/p>\n I support this fully.\u00a0 When\u2019s Delta going to get in on this?<\/span><\/p>\n Seriously though, I fly more frequently than the average person does, so I\u2019ve witnessed beyond my share of inconsiderate people who bring a U-Haul\u2019s worth of crap onto aircrafts, and stuff the overhead bins full before the second two-thirds of passengers can even set foot onto the plane.\u00a0 It makes me feel ecstatic to see that there\u2019s an airline that\u2019s willing to finally push back at these greedy assholes who think that it\u2019s perfectly acceptable for them to stuff their non-regulation size roll-aboard horizontally, along with their meticulously folded coat, as well as their purse\/satchel\/messenger bag, so that they can have the floor in front of them completely clear and spacious for their feet for when they inevitably lean back and sleep while snoring; in the seat right in front of yours, naturally.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Their initial selfishness is what causes a chain reaction that leads to everyone being miserable and hate the flying experience as a whole.\u00a0 They get on the aircraft first, stuff all of their crap into the overhead bins, and sit back smugly and watch as the rest of the people clamor for remaining space, even if it\u2019s nowhere near where their actual seat is, because they\u2019re so desperate to get any space at all, so they don\u2019t have to check their crap, and add 30 minutes to their post-flight experience having to wait at the carousels for their bag to be returned to them.\u00a0 Then the people afterward clog up the remaining boarding passengers, because they\u2019re now the ones sniffing out the \u201cit might just fit\u201d spaces in the overhead bins, and then they plant themselves in place and try to play luggage Tetris with not just their crap, but the crap of other people, whom are often times nervously watching from their own seats, but not getting up, because they either can\u2019t, because they\u2019re middle or window and the 400 lb. fat motherfucker is clogging them from getting back in the aisle, or that they\u2019re simply lazy, and don\u2019t want to actually help anyone else out.<\/span><\/p>\n So good on United to try and snuff out the issue at its initial point, and cracking down on overhead bin abusers.\u00a0 I enjoy in the article that the obvious outcry is the accusation that United is trying to just make more money; of course they\u2019re trying to make more money, that\u2019s what any smart business is always trying to do.\u00a0 But at the same time, they\u2019re making an effort to try and re-train people who fly, into adhering into more reasonable packing habits, so that if they really want to avoid having to pay extra money, maybe they should invest in more reasonable luggage, or pack more intelligently, so that things aren\u2019t bursting at the seams, or necessitating a gigantic tote on top of your roll-aboard.\u00a0 If it they make a little bit of coin while people are re-learning, so be it.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s a reason I seldom use my roll-aboard in the first place, and that I stick to a duffle bag, or a backpack.\u00a0 By the time I get onto flights, there\u2019s rarely any room for a roll-aboard anyway, so even if I can\u2019t cram my duffel in somewhere, I can make it fit underneath my seat usually.\u00a0 Even when I have a roll-aboard, so many times I just check it at the gate anyway, just because I simply don\u2019t want to deal with the arduous task of looking for space, unless I know the flight is lightly occupied, and I could probably find a spot.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Long story short: United Airlines is cracking down on people who abuse the lax enforcement of carry-on belongings, and will eventually begin sending people back to the ticket counter to check excessive luggage for a fee.
