Had some Germans giving me some looks in Frankfurt last year when I started removing their stupid jackets from the bins to put our bags in.
I have heard that story before

This is happening more often for some reason. Noticed it the past few flights I've been on.
Now that you don't have to power down and put away electronics like iPhones or tablets, no need to keep small bags for them close by.

Here's my ne that drives me crazy and is often overlooked.
People that drag their rollerboard down the aisle. It almost always gets caught on something or someone, causing a delay in boarding/deplaning. Multiply that small delay by 100 people, making your already tight connection a sprint... It's not the airlines fault you suck at life.
Just pick it up and carry it.

I typically put both my carry-on and breifcase up there because I am in bulkhead

Forget that. I will always put my briefcase in overhead bin. I paid for that room where my feet go. Sorry for your late boarding category.

I flew last week and the flight attendant said the same thing to me.

The only thing worse is the oversize carry on guy. It's for small bags, not anything with wheels.
Exactly. I don't know why mini suitcases are acceptable now. Carry-ons should basically be purses, maybe small/medium backpacks. People feel entitled to fricking carry a week's worth of items on and it just leads to fights for room in the bin when they should be checking those things.

It is the law and I am within it. GFY while waiting at the carousel.

If it will fit through the x-ray machine, TSA will let you through with it. Doesn't mean you are getting on the plane with it

My carry on carries a week worth of clothes without a problem. I can easily fit it into the overhead. This is a perfect use of the space.
I only put my briefcase above if the flight is not full and there is plenty of overhead space.

Because HVC's don't sit in the back of the plane

I would be cool with HVC boarding first and then board from back to front. There is definitely process improvement opportunities. Airlines have huge financial incentives to improve the turns on each leg.

I thought they were for some reason, maybe bad info that I got. Maybe they just require airlines to allow personal items or something and it has been twisted in my mind.

Yeah, this is what I was getting at. Let 1st class on if you must, then board back to front, and your bags go in the overhead where you are sitting.
Posted on 11/29/15 at 6:42 pm to BACONisMEATcandy
Who wants to sit in first class having to watch all the poors pass their travel balls inches from your nostrils.
I try to be the last person boarding.

HVC's are not just first class

But they were specifically designed to do that! Any business professional who travels frequently would tell you you're wrong. If the flight isn't full, or you're sitting at the front of business or first class, then it's fine for you put your briefcase up there. But on the busiest travel day of the year, then it's bullshite (save for the people who don't have the option for under seat storage).
Those bins were designed for me to be able to carry on a bag that is reasonable enough for me not to check, pay a $25.00 fee, and wait 30 minutes in baggage claim for. I think saving 30 or more minutes is a hell of a lot better reason for me to put my roll-on in overhead storage than for your feet to be slightly roomier. Anyone who says otherwise clearly doesn't travel much at all and doesn't have to put up with this on monthly basis.
