On the other hand, if an airline charged the same for carry-ons as they do for checked luggage, there'd be less "cheating" for space.
And for a VERY unpopular suggestion: I weigh 190#, My golf clubs in carrier weigh 40# and a full-size suitcase of 35# for a total of 265#. Other than SW the baggage fee is $70-80 + the ticket. Then, especially in a window seat, I get squished against the wall by a 320# person whose fat rolls are on my lap, and who managed to sneak 2 carry-ons aboard for a total of about 370# and $80 less. Since weight seems to be important on a flight (just see what happens if your bag is over 50#), maybe it's time to start charging passengers by the pound, just like their luggage.

Pure GENIUS! This needs to happen. For real.
(Now for my ocd to kick in) May I add that total of person + luggage be a deciding factor as to being qualified to fly. More weight = more fuel = more $. Also, consider weight distribution a factor. Heavier folks aisle seats, lighter folks & children at the windows. After all, don't want one side with all sumo size with straw weights on the other, would ya? 😜🤪
