Yes I can do that as well. I just got tired of rolling the bag thru airports 
etc, and fighting for bin space. Now that I have status I may consider going

The other thing I hate about doing carry on is sometimes I end up on small 
planes and have to gate check, then wait on the jet bridge for bag which can 
suck with a tight connection.
