Of course with the RJ you dont have much room anyway so if you do make it in time there is no guarantee that the bin will have room to hold the bags.
Now, see, that's exactly what I'm talking about. There's no reason to wave off a bag runner or transfer driver before the airplane has started the push. It takes two seconds to open the cargo door and toss a bag in. You can make the lost time up in the air, if not the taxi. As far as not fitting, if the rampers would actually stack the bags instead tossing them everywhere, they'd probably be amazed how many will fit.....
