I might be wrong, but the closet in FC is where the FAA approved crewbag storage is. Seems odd, but we can't just throw our bags where ever we want.
I understand that if the FAA approves crew bags in the bins (like Pinnacle) the closet then gets opened up for coats... its intended use.

Thanks for that clarification, thinking back I couldn't remember if my coat had ever been checked. But it was always a short hop from MKE>DTW so I usually hold on to it regardless. But it's always nice to know.
