What was wrong with the 90s? I would pick 90s or 2000s FAs and in-flight service any day over today.

So true. Other week we were complaining about lounge staff who were enforcing the rules appropriately denying access, and FAs who were strict about not having a bag of one's lunch in the lap during take-off cos in bulkhead and now we complaining about staff not enforcing rules.

On some occasions that happens it is because of a defective seat and cant stay upright. I have sat in a fixed reclined seat all flight and I am sure people were assuming, like you have, that I was just disregarding rules. Agree though likely uncommon.

Yeah that will sure get attention of the FA and get one shouted at. They won't notice the open bin but will certainly notice the guy standing to close it. They might even accuse him of standing up and opening the bin while plane is taxiing...
