Hey, @SouthwestAir;

I fly with a backpack that IS carry-on size, but does NOT fit under my seat. Announcing "roller bags only in the overhead bins" doesn't make it smaller, or any less a valid carry-on. Please stop. This is unnecessarily stressful.

PS: "Get a roller bag" isn't a solution. I walk with a cane. I have the backpack in part to guarantee I will have the use of one of my hands while traveling.

Also, I don't need more stuff. I need what fits inside a backpack. If more people carried backpacks, we'd have more room in the bins.
