Short lady here! I'm 5'2" with slope-y shoulders.
There is an Osprey Fairview 40 if you want to get a smaller version of the one you own. However it's still 40 and I believe from seeing it in person it would be a tight fit under a seat. Would definitely fit carry-on regulation but not under the seat easily.
I'm a big fan of the Kelty Redwing 32. I have a 40L version of this bag and its been all over the world with me, but it's discontinued. This new one I've tried out in store and some friends have it; it's more comfortable than mine. Has tons of pockets, isn't too tall, and easily makes a carry-on size. I'd say if you can try it out for fit it's a good idea, because the redwing I had was more Unisex so it was a little wider. This one is more for women so I think it fits better on us.
I also love the Gregory packs - the lumbar support is incredible and is easily the most comfortable bag I've owned. I have used the Gregory J 38 for trips. I think there is a newer version than the one I own. Problem with it is that because it has a taller load if it's too full some airlines may give you hassle, but I have never checked it for its size.
The Gregory and Kelty have those non-detachable hip belts, so you'd have to be ok with that - but when I travel I usually am hiking or walking long distances and so I prefer to not have that weight on my shoulder. The ones you show are much sleeker. Of the 3 bags I suggested would pick the Kelty or Osprey since they are the smallest and pass a little more for a town backpack over the hiking-style of the Gregory.
Good luck in your search!
