JetBlue joins war on children- Boots family from plane due to toddler's tantrum

83. but you end up screwing people who HAVE to carry a bag on

if you either dropped the fees or made them equal for either carry-on or check then you take away the incentive to abuse the system. as a matter of fact, the way it stands now, people carry bags to the gate that they KNOW they cannot get into an overhead or under the seat and end up gate-checking them to avoid the fees and THAT delays the planes even further.

the airlines could go a long way to solving the problem by 1) enforcing the two bag limit for carry-ons and 2) making people use the little size-wise checkers to make SURE they will fit in the overhead and 3) requiring that if you have two bags, one MUST go under the seat. Do those things and the problem goes away...and if you wanted to throw one more on there, require bags that have to be gate checked due to size or having too many bags be a minimum $100.
