Regardless of your status you are still affected by those that don't play by the rules and you should also play by the rules and then everyone can have a nice ride. Can't understand how the rules don't bother those who want to bring on the their overstuffed (by their definition) carry on but when they see other passengers getting away with it and overstepping their space, then it's an annoyance.
I completely agree that "if some guidelines are not in force, passengers would run amok." And guess what, without clear, objective guidelines in place, GA's will also run amok. A subjective rule of the bag needing to "glide easily" is just as bad as allowing bags that "almost fit".
