Rather surprised that the small storage bin low down by your leg in the CS must be empty for take-off and landing. Seems a bit OTT to me.

That's correct. The holder is not certified for items to be stowed therefore must not have anything in it for take-off and landing. This is highlighted in the seat instruction guide located in the magazine rack. You can however place items under the ottoman for take-off and landing.

I agree - have seen this on various airlines [even spaces like that but with a lid] and it always seems overzealous. Can't recall ever having been asked to move stuff, but it's not the crew's fault.
I'd be interested to hear what the certification regime is for that though.

We need a new acronym I am becoming increasingly confused with CWS and corporate-wage-slave
