That's a nice post but kind of looks like you don't really do much flying within North America on mainline carriers - many of those habits are only applicable to low cost carriers. For example, there are NO North American carriers that I know of that charge for your first bag and a carry-on sized one at that. Also, as an Air Canada Elite member who travels a ton for work, I can tell you with absolute certainty that there are NO Air Canada flights that lift off with empty bulkhead or emergency row seats. You pay to book them in advance but those with frequent flier status get them for free and they are also released at T-24 hours to the flight.

Also... why you would rather board late and have to check your bag below rather than boarding early and guarantee yourself overhead bin space is beyond me...
