I'm glad to see they are still coming out with bigger and better products. However why bother. Their interface (Ios command line) is decades old and has seen little improvements.

I fly 3-5 times a year. I've flown coach in the past but due to company freq flier programs I sit up front more often. In my experience the frequent fliers and 1st class fliers know what's going on. They know to get in, get your stuff stowed, and sit down. Most likely as a sub-conscious desire to get the flight over as soon as possible.
However that leaves the rest of the 80%. The cattle. Sadly most of America is made up of the 'I simply don't care about the big picture / community / my neighbors' They tramp on the plane with 2-3 times the allowed carry-on. They get to their seat and start to unload. What happens next? Well this cattle with 2 bags just noticed the overhead for 10 feet in all directions is stuffed with other fliers extra junk. So he has to say 'pardon me' and squeeze through the other boarding passengers in a frantic furry to get his stuff stowed before someone else takes it.
Up in first class? In all my travels I've usually seen the overhead only 50% used. Plenty of extra room.
The airlines need to crack down HARD on over sized, excess, carry-on's. They should fine people. Stop being 'The friendly skies' and give back to the passengers what the passengers are giving them.. a hard time..
Perhaps they can find some way to rate passengers. Then I can pay an extra 5% ticket cost to be grouped with clued fliers. I'd pay the extra!
Noisy.. Slow.. Too much luggage.. Dilly dallies while boarding... Brought the plague with them...:P

This is why we need to kick folks off the internet who have their name servers as public recursive revolvers. And implement BCP38 more.

I totally agree with this comment.
