Glad to see that Gadling sees this issue for what it is -- a money grab. Clearly this doesn't change the amount of baggage on the plane (hence the weight, hence the fuel required for the plane), since bags are merely transferred from passenger compartment to baggage compartment.

And I'm right there with you, Chris. As somebody who has bought bags based on their approval as carry-ons, this was the first thing I thought when I saw this article.
