These folks are used to traveling with a certain bag that has always (and still does) fit but will now be told their bag is too big. I definitely wouldn't want to be a gate agent during the next few months.
    Just because their bags were too big then doesn't mean it was right! They just happened to get away with it before. The reason the oversized bag issue has become an "epidemic" is because GAs didn't enforce it for years.

    I agree but, as someone who deals with the most frequent fliers regularly, I can tell you there will be heck to pay for quite a while until they get used to the new rules.
