So taking away carry-on baggage, which Delta never took away and AA gave back? Really smart.

a plus is if you know you are on a packed flight you will definitely be getting that $25 voucher for having to check your carry-on

The compensation for overhead bins is nice, but really crappy of them to hide taking away free carryon from basic fare when all the other airlines are adding it back.
They’re really on a mission to make it feel like Spirit.
The only thing they can’t easily change is their nice seat pitch - which is why I keep flying with them. But I’m sure that’s next.

From the language it seems that there is no exception for carry on baggage on Basic Blue fares even for credit card holders. Are they really trying to out do even United?

Once they take away carry on's from Blue Basic that will free up the overhead space

however they are finally matching the other airlines by allowing free changes
if you find a cheaper ticket the credit goes back to your wallet to be used within 1 year
blue basic does not have free changes ( they have changes for a fee but i have not seen what the fee is in the press release )

According to DoC it’s $100 domestic and Mexico/Caribbean and $200 other routes. Not cheap at all.
