I guess I'm just surprised there is no generally accepted rule/wisdom in terms of which practice is better for safety.
Big/heavy down below is probably best for safety, but less good for comfort. As planes do not crash very often, nor do they encounter turbulence of the kind that damages the lockers very often, I will go for the comfort option and stow it in the overhead.
You're right about AC though - the sizers at GVA show it as well. They appear to be the only airline with it that way round. Indeed, EZY won't let you leave it below if it won't fit *fully* under the seat.
