I'll get on a transatlantic plane without carry-on luggage when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

(Or when they pay me the full replacement price of my checked luggage when I board. On the unlikely chance I ever see it again, and on time too, I'll gladly refund the money... minus a modest handling charge. AND they must have at least three decent full-length novels in the passenger cabin for me, as that's how many I'll need.)

I am trying to imagine the pressure against that no-laptops concept. I wonder how that will play out.

First guess: AA and BA lose approximately all of the us/europe business traffic to airlines that go directly to other cities (lufthansa, icelandair, delta) - given the reaction to the last big UK ATC failure that I almost ended up in, many of these people rebooked *today's* flights on those other airlines...

Believable.
