And then, while the flight takes off and the seat belt light is still on , they go up there to get something. Elites are mot a whole bunch better than regular pax in my short tenure as EXP
Now you just take that back!!! We ARE TOO better...
My preferred seat in F on the Mad Dog is 3E/F, which means all my stuff goes in the overhead...anywhere else and I'll stuff something under the seat (the one IN FRONT of me). If the plane is lightly loaded, as it often is into and out of COS, I'll put it all up there and move the smaller bag if it looks like things are getting tight. I've never left all my stuff in the overhead if there's someone about to have a bag gate-checked...perhaps that's uncommon courtesy among elites, but I think not.
cheers!
