What airline is gonna start charging for overhead bin space?

I know United has begun to roll out their basic economy, and I'm pretty sure other majors are doing something similar. Not sure exactly what they charge for, but I know it's closer to Spirit level. MileagePlus members don't accumulate miles, no option to upgrade to economy plus or first class, etc. It's a good option in theory for people who just want to get there for cheap without having to risk it on Spirit, but from what I've seen so far, the fares are usually only $20-40 cheaper than standard economy, so it's pretty shitty.
