This is totally DYNKWIA. There is no guarantee to get carry ons on the flight.. and while its not always the case, the majority of CE flyers tickets are paid for by a company, not themselves... also some of the seats in Y are pretty expensive if booked last minute.
The whole, "we are more important than you" is utterly ridiculous.
