Kudos to Alaska for responding favorably to consumer needs! More on this story at the Puget Sound Business Journal.

Larger carry-ons won’t be allowed. Just more of them. If you are among the last folks on a long flight (say to Hawaii) now, your carry-on will be checked as there is not enough bin space.
People need to be cautious about taking stuff out of a bin — that doesn’t change with more or less bags in them.
