United fired all the baggage handlers. The baggage situation was a mess after that. They hired a private contractor to come in and sub out the work. They were trying to cut costs.

I heard about this move on the radio when it was first announced, and emailed my spouse who was on a trip to CA. He was able to do carry-on because of that message, and saved himself a world of hurt on that trip. Since then, he's mostly done carry-on.

That's United for you.
