Is Osprey a personal item?

Simply compare the dimensions of the Osprey Farpoint 40 (22 x 14 x 9) to Spirit Airline's carry-on regulations for a personal item (16 x 14 x 12) and you'll see that the Farpoint is 6 too high. That's a pretty big difference so you shouldn't plan on being able to slip it on as a personal item.
