thats how I always saw it!

now I will admitt if you tell someone that you have fragile things in your case and they proceed to treat it as if it didnt, or if they mishandled your bag thats something else

cant count the # of times I proceeded to replace the other bag in wheels out instead of the length wise position it was in , to get the cat calls. I said would you prefer to move it or should I simply remove your bag completely from the bin (not going to). alot of the time Im told back 'I want to be able to access my bag during the flight, I answer back no one will be stopping you. Most times they Never touched the bag whatsoever during the flight!

I fully understand if someone is gonna try and jam a bag in that really cant fit unless it squashes the other bags, but that is rarely the case

all too often its , hey thats MY bin and keep your hands off. However usually there isnt any problem whatsoever as most people are understanding and themselves either have been in the same situation or wouldnt want to be.
