Not sure I agree. With everyone carrying on bags to avoid checking fees, so much of what I see them do is repositioning bags and moving them around between different compartments to allow for the most amount possible to fit. It already takes a solid half hour for this process to go on, can't imagine how long it would take a flight to get up into the air without them.
