I am one of those who sits with amusement watching the variety of carry-ons being dragged into the cabin and the attempts at stowing them. I check my bags almost 100% of the time because I can't stand the hassles of security and dragging even a small roller bag onto the plane. However, for our FA posters here -- and the OP -- what really Ts me off is walking onto the plane and taking my seat in row 1 or 2 only to find the overheads on both side filled with crew bags! Particularly for those of us who are in the bulkhead seats where nothing can be kept on the floor, this is a denial of the space we have purchased! Where there are cupboards should not crew bags be stowed in them, or towards the back of the J cabin if in the overheads?
BTW I feel ever stronger about passengers who stow their bags in the J cabin overheads, or the first rows of Y, and then keep walking to the back of the plane!!!!
