I was number 5 on the list, so I boarded and sat in my seat in row 18 (aisle) I had to stow my rollerboard at row 16 ands then the GA came onboard and called my name. My position (number 5 with 2 seats) somehow cleared.
At this time there had been about 8-9 carryons gate checked due to the overhead bins being completely full. My upgraded seat was 1D.
After we arrived at the destination I had to wait until Y deplaned to go back and claim my rollerboard, have you tried walking against the pax on a 320?

As I was getting on the plane, the guy who's seat I now held was standing in the doorway and immediatly new I got his seat. He told me that he did not want to take a chance of losing overhead space should his UG not come through so he just boarded. He was pissed that he did not wait it out. I told him I had just got in from Shanghai and was going to Boston so at least it went to a good cause...me
