So far it seems the FF's here have a certain ARROGANCE about "I am a FF & I get to do what I want". Overall something FAIR needs to be done.

Also with the new 787-Dreamliners it seems they will have even LARGER overhead Bins & such.

AA doesn't charge elite passengers to check bags, so it's unlikely they'd try it for overhead space.

I have no idea how any reasonable person could conclude that the FFers on this thread are expressing arrogance; I think you're drawing an abjectly poor conclusion from what you have read.
