Not to mention tall people already have something to put under that seat in front of them--their feet.
Because more rows of seats have been jammed into the plane, each overhead bin must now accommodate a correspondingly larger amount of carryons.
I guess we can all buy new clothes at our destination, or layer our week's worth of clothes. DS travels every week for business--he needs five days of office clothes plus toiletries plus shoes. That could never fit under the seat in front of him. Plus his feet.
IMHO the airlines should make a checked bag free and charge for the carryons. They would shave 30 to 40 minutes off their boarding and disembarking times and could put more planes in the air vs. paying for more baggage handlers.
