Actually, Bonnie's experience was with a carryon that they made her gate-check at the last minute because the plane was full. Just another risk if you plan to carry it on - on smaller planes, or really full ones, if they think the bins are going to be too full they will force you to gate check your carryon.

I took my Kenmore as a carryon to Texas (from Canada) one year. It worked, but I don't know that I'd do it again. And on a couple of flights I did have to gate check it.
