If your bag needs wheels, it is, by definition, not a carry-on.

So tired of people bringing massive bags in the plane that they cannot lift into the overhead bin.

Pack lighter

Or

Check your bags

If you downvote…check which sub you are in

    Is it easier to carry 40 pounds in a bag with wheels or without?

    Would they be more or less likely to pack a heavy bag of they did not have wheels?

      Sure but the point is you’re trying to inconvenience more people who are already inconvenienced and don’t care. Passengers need to be able to lift the bag, not necessarily carry it. Banning wheels means that everyone now has to pack A LOT less because they need to carry it, potentially for a whole day. It’s just not worth it.

        If they need to haul more stuff, then they should just check the bag.

        Carry on is for stuff you need to use during the flight. That’s it.

          It also happens to be included in the ticket (usually) while checking in bags is super expensive
